A member asked:
Streptococcus bacteria, does it cause bad breath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gingivitis: Some streptococcal species may be involved in gingival (gum) infections and these can produce bad breath. This can also result from infections in the sinuses, the back of the throat and other upper respiratory areas. The odor is that of destroyed tissue rather than products produced by the bacteria.
