Them'sPowerfulDrugs!: Rothia dentocariosa(previously known as Stomato-coccus mucilaginosus)is a species of bacteria that is part of the normal bacterial mouth flora. First isolated from dental caries, it is largely benign,but does very rarely cause disease. It responds fully to treatment with antibiotics, as does Strep A (the strep throat bacterium) and Strep B (the female genital bacterium). Somehow you get reinfected
