Demonstration of the antilactobacillus agent is dependent on the amount present in saliva specimens. The medium employed in performing the tests, Rogosa's medium, gave the best reproducible results. Variation in sensitivity of lactobacillus species and the occurrence of resistant mutants were determined.
