Question
I'm doing a science fair project. What types of bacteria are in a dogs saliva and mouth?

Answer
Hi Chris;
There are hundreds of types of bacteria.
If you go to a medical journal, they will give you some of the specific names to copy.
There is a known fact that the dog mouth has more germs in it than people...so, check it out, and you will find it most interesting!
Best of luck,
Regards,
Melissa
