A disturbance in the equilibrium of oral microbiota may represent a leading cause of poor oral hygiene. Dysbiosis of the microbiota is the main cause of inflammatory illnesses, known as periodontitis. Communication between Streptococcus spp. and other oral bacteria could be relevant, and therefore, indicators of different forms of periodontitis. The current study aimed to investigate the association between certain Streptococcus spp. with poor oral health and developing periodontal disorders. A total of 166 samples were collected from individuals attending Ghazi Al-Hariri Hospital for Surgical Specialties and Specialized Dental Centers in Baghdad, Iraq. S. mutans, S. sanguis
