Abstract
This investigation was conducted to isolate Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis from dental caries patients in Thi-Qar governorate. A total of (100) samples were gathered from people aged 4 to 65 with the help of a dentist, samples were taken with aseptic techniques. The samples were transferred by specially sterilized containers. Traditional and molecular method were used for isolation and diagnosis bacterial isolates. Total of Forty-five (45%) samples were identified as Streptococcus mutans followed by 25 (25) isolates identified as Enterococcus faecalis.
