Which pathogen is not typically associated with the mouth flora?

  1. Staphylococcus aureus

  2. Actinomyces

  3. Peptostreptococcus

  4. Viridans group Streptococci

The correct answer is: Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus aureus is not typically associated with mouth flora because it is primarily found on the skin and can cause serious infections if it enters the body through a wound or other entry point. The other options, Actinomyces, Peptostreptococcus, and Viridans group Streptococci, are all commonly found in the mouth flora and play important roles in maintaining oral health. Additionally, these bacteria are part of the normal microbial community in the mouth and are not typically pathogenic when found in this environment.
