Background. Mutans Streptococci are considered as major bacteria in dental caries whose prevalence is very high on human dental. Nowadays, the transmission of Streptococcus is very rapid toward babies, which occurs directly and indirectly by salivary contact of the mother or baby sitter, so Streptococcus initial acquisition in baby comes in very early age, around 7*8 months. The younger the child acquires MS, the higher the dental caries risk on the child. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to know the kinds of Streptococcus species and initial acquisition in babies at Posyandu RW Vl-VIII Kelurahan Simomulyo, Surabaya city. Method. Monthly plague samples using a sterile cotton bud and examinations were taken in order to see the kinds of Streptococcus species in babies until the initial acquisition was determined, after that the Streptococcus species were isolated by using BHI and TYC broth respectively, then the Streptococcus species were reproduced by using BAP/Lavental. After that Streptococcus species were identified by using gram staining and API 20 Strep. Result. As the result 24% Mutans Streptococcus and the average initial acquisition age of babies was 7,5 month, 4% S.sobrinus and the average initial acquisition age of babies was 10 month , 20% S. sanguinis and the average initial acquisition age of babies was 7,4 month, 16% S.salivarius and the average initial acquisition age of babies was 7,7S month, 16% S.oralis and the average initial acquisition age of babies was 7,75 month, 4% S.bovis and the average initial acquisition age of babies was 9 month, 4% Lactococcus lactis and the average initial acquisition age of babies was 9 month, 12% were not identified and the average initial acquisition age of babies was 9 month. Conclusion. Because identification MS very high so the caries in subject was predicted high and need comprehensive prevention. To give a knowlegde about transmission bacteria from salivary contact directly or indirectly for mother/baby sitter.
