Known peroxigenic oral bacteria include: #Streptococcus oralis, S. mitis, S. sanguinis, S. gordonii, S. oligofermentans , #Lactobacillus fermentum, L. jensenii, L. acidophilus, L. minutus, and #Bifidobacterium adolescentis [#Streptococcus gordonii, #Streptococcus mitis, #Streptococcus oralis, #Streptococcus salivarius] [#Alcohol Consumption] - Several oral microbial species such as #Streptococci S. gordonii, S. mitis, S. oralis, S. salivarius, S. sanguinis, and #Candida yeasts possess the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which metabolizes alcohol to #Acetaldehyde, which is indisputably carcinogenic.References Notes[ ]
