Don't Bring Peptococcus Home...To Meet The Family!

The Love ToothBrush Patent  #D363,820  November 7, 1995.

In the family Peptococcaceae,  we find the 

gram-positive Peptococcus niger. The 

species is part of the natural flora and 

microbiome of the mouth, large intestines, 

and the upper respiratory tract. The 

antibiotic Mezlocillin is toxic to the 

bacteria. When we swallow the boluses 

of food and saliva, we feed Peptococcus niger 

to further parts down the alimentary tract.
