Abstract
S. wiggsiae was associated with advanced and initial caries, is acid tolerant and produces acid to low pH at initial neutral and low pH conditions. In combination with S. mutans, S. wiggsiae was detected in caries in an animal model. Together, these data suggest that S. wiggsiae has many of the characteristics consistent with its being a caries-associated species.
