Abstract:Background: To assess the influential determinants of microbial colonization of oral cavity in term infants Materials and Methods: This study was approved by the ethics committee of the Faculty of Dentistry-Universidad Nacional Federico Villareal and was conducted at the Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal (INMP), Lima-Peru in March 2022. The sample consisted of 30 full-term births and swabs on the palate and back of the tongue 4 and 8 hours after birth. Five culture media were used for reading and identifying microorganisms Results: Eutocic births were female (36.7%). The mothers of the neonates did not receive dental prophylaxis in the last 6 months (76.6%). 46.7% of eutocic births received Exclusive Breastfeeding and were suitable for gestational age (AEG) in 83.4%. Staphylococcus spp was present 4 and 8 hours after birth (p=0.273) and the rest of the microorganisms were absent (p=0.000).......
