Candida albicans is the fungus most commonly found in the mouth and is known to colonize the irregular acrylic surfaces of prostheses, leading to infections of the underlying oral mucosa. Lactobacillus and Streptococcus mutans are bacteria commonly found in the oral cavity, but do not typically cause prosthesis-related infections. Xerostomic pathogens refer to a group of microorganisms that thrive in dry mouths, but they do not specifically colonize prosthesis surfaces.
