Qualitative and quantitative assessments were made of the cultivable oral microflora of adult marmosets that were given three difjerent dietary regimens. The identifiable isolates were dispersed among 12 recognized microbial families, 24 genera, and more than 40 species. Generally, marmosets that received a high sucrose diet had the highest bacterial counts.
