1 Tracking human migration patterns through the oral bacterial flora

2 FIG. 1 Phylogeny of the cryptic 5.6-kb plasmid from Streptococcus mutans. Strains in red are serotype e and are shown to exhibit a common evolutionary derivation, whereas racial/geographical host and mutacin gene distribution are not correlated with the plasmid's history.

3 FIG. 2 Phylogenetic tree depicting co-evolutionary histories of Streptococcus mutans and its human host. Clustering and similarity of genotypes of Caucasian strains suggest an Asian ancestor and small founder population.
