KariesScreenTest is the successor to the CRT® bacteria. It is based on the same patented highly selective agar for the detection of Streptococcus mutans. Publications based on the CRT® bacteria are therefore also transferable to the caries screen test.

The CRT Bacteria test shows similar results to those of the CLT test in subjects 60 years of age and over.
Pediatr Dent. 2004 May-Jun;26(3):231-9.
Microbiological screening for cariogenic bacteria in children 9 to 36 months of age.
Barsamian-Wunsch P1, Park JH, Watson MR, Tinanoff N, Minah GE.
All sampling methods were adequate for microbial risk assessment tests in children under 3 years of age. MS was a stronger indicator of caries status than LB.
