Dental caries is primarily associated with gram-positive bacteria. The most common bacteria involved in the development of dental caries include Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, both of which are gram-positive. These bacteria metabolize sugars to produce acids that demineralize tooth enamel, leading to cavities. While there are also gram-negative bacteria present in the oral microbiome, the key players in caries formation are predominantly gram-positive.
