Abstract Background Swedish equine dental practices have empirically found that the prevalence of infundibular caries as a primary disorder in the first permanent premolar teeth P2 of the horse upper jaw has increased during the last I0 years. A previously unknown bacterial species Streptococcus devriesei CCUG 47I55T which is related to Streptococcus mutans has recently been isolated from these carious lesions. To understand the aetiology of caries in horses it is essential to elucidate the relationship between S. devriesei and P2 infundibular caries. Methods The anterior infundibulum of maxillary P2 or the occlusal surface at the site of the infundibulum in II7 horses and ponies 77 with and 40 without caries in this tooth was sampled for bacteriological analyses between 1990 and 2004. Samples were transported in VMGA III medium and then .
