Research summary
AI-generated

D. Peters studies the community of bacteria that live in the human mouth, focusing on oral streptococci and how they compete, form biofilms, and interact with saliva. This work has practical relevance to understanding tooth decay (dental caries), since some strains studied produce hydrogen peroxide that can inhibit cavity-causing bacteria. The research combines microbiology techniques like fluorescent strain labeling with biofilm and growth studies.
