Streptococcus mutans lives naturally in the mouth, in dental plaque (a biofilm on the surface of teeth), also causing dental caries. Because of the similarity in many ways of the mouth to the vagina, S. mutans can in some cases affect the vagina or urinary tract.
NAC is effective on both the biofilm and the bacteria.
