Dental caries can be defined as a localized loss of calcified dental tissues. Like CD, obesity and overweight can have multifactorial origins, as well as inadequate nutrition and high consumption of fermentable carbohydrates. Excess weight poses serious health risks and consequences. High rates of tooth loss in adult women can be attributed to poor oral hygiene and high consumption of carbohydrates In the oral microbiota, Streptococcus mutans is responsible for the development of dental caries (CD). These bacteria metabolize various carbohydrates producing acidic metabolites. The presence of antimicrobial resistant S. mutans can be a problem for human health and the inappropriate use of antibiotics favors resistance and the increase of resistant bacteria. This study aims to evaluate the presence of S. mutans resistant to antimicrobials in obese/overweight women treated at a dental center. For this, unstimulated saliva was collected, which was processed for the isolation of S. mutans and for carrying out a susceptibility test to antimicrobial compounds by disk-diffusion. It was possible to identify the presence of S. mutans in 18% of the samples (n=3), of which one sample showed resistance to the antibiotics cefotaxime, clindamycin and ceftriaxone, two samples showed sensitivity to antibiotics. Conclusion: New studies are needed to contribute to better results on S. mutans and antimicrobial resistance in obese/overweight women, since S. mutans is present in the human oral microbiota and can cause dental injuries.
