Description :
Biofilm have been concerned as the main source of etiopathogenesis of dental caries, tooth decay and associated diseases. These biofilms establish a great challenge to the dental practitioner in the control and suppression of biofilm associated periodontal diseases and decaying of tooth. Out of these total 140 isolates, 98 isolates was found to be biofilm producer and 42 were biofilm non produces. These biofilm forming Gram Positive bacterial was identified by VITEK 2 instrument. Antibiotic resistance is one of the principal intimidations to worldwide health, food security and development. Streptococcus mutans along with most of the gram positive cocci was believed to be the major biofilm producer contributing in periodontal disease. In this article the relation between biofilm forming and antibiotic susceptibility of Gram positive cocci isolates was studied. Isolates from dental caries was identified and antibiotic sensitivity was also done by VITEK-2 compact system. Streptococci spp. has been showed to be significantly more resistance to antibiotic with the cause of tooth decay.
