Description	The RiboPrinter system failed to identify analysed strains; the automatic identification performed by the system using a DuPont Qualicon database DUP 2004 did not assign any S. mutans strain to the species level. In total, 20 ribotypes were revealed among 31 strains. These results imply RiboPrinter microbial characterization system as a satisfactory tool for S. mutans intraspecies typing purposes although careful inspection of obtained automatic characterization results is needed to obtain reliable outcomes.
