Comparison of Streptococcus mutans (SM) bacterial milieu in the saliva of pregnant and non-pregnant women. The bars in the diagram represent the percentage of women scoring 0, 1, 2, and 3 based on the number of colony-forming units (CFU) of bacteria identified after culture, i.e. 0, 105, 105–106 and > 106 CFU/mL, respectively. *Pregnant vs. non-pregnant group; p < 0.05 (chi-squared test). **Pregnant vs. non-pregnant group (difference was only significant (p < 0.05.) between subgroups with SM score 0 and 3 (chi-squared test with Bonferroni adjustment)
