Abstrak Infeksi bakteri, jamur maupun virus dapat terjadi pada seorang penderita diabetes melitus.Penderita dengan metabolisme yang buruk lebih rentan terhadap infeksi bakteri yang berulang. Kerusakan gigi dapat terjadi pada penderita diabetes melitus sebab adanya peningkatan kadar glukosa dalam cairan salivanya, terkhusus pada penderita yang tidak memperhatikan kebersihan gigi dan mulut sehingga memicu pola bakteri. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat gambaran pertumbuhan Streptococcus spp. pada mulut penderita diabetes melitus di kota Makassar. Jenis penelitian deskriptif, dengan melakukan observasi langsung secara laboratorium.Teknik pengambilan sampel secara Consecutive Sampling, dan didapatkan 24 sampel penelitian yang diambil dari 3 Rumah Sakit di Kota Makassar.Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada Mei-Juni tahun 2022 di Laboratorium Mikrobiologi Teknologi Laboratorium Medis PoltekkesKemenkes Makassar. Hasil penelitian bahwa sesuai usia penderita DM dari 24 sampel terdapat usia 55-77 tahun 66,67% lebih banyak dari 38-54 tahun sebesar 33,33%. Jenis kelamin diperoleh 10 orang (41,67%) laki-laki dan 12 orang (50%) perempuan. Hasil pemeriksaan 15 sampel teridentifikasi Streptococcus spp., 2 sampel teridentifikasi Pseudomonas spp., dan 7 sampel teridentifikasi Enterobacter spp. Disimpulkan terdapat pertumbuhan Streptococcus spppada mulut penderita diabetes melitus.
