32
Q

appropriate clinical specimen to take from a child to test for cariogenic organisms

A

swab of saliva or tooth surface

33
Q

methods to test species present in a sample

A

next generation sequencing

37
Q

how do you determine cause and effect

A

remove culprit organsm - leads to resolution of disease
