What two elements make up the compounds in glass?
Your everyday glass is made of silica, a sand composed of silicon dioxide, silicon and oxygen.
Can bacteria eat sand?
No. Sand is composed of solid silicate minerals. Nothing eats such material. The closest thing we have are diatoms, which extract dissolved silica from water to make glass-like shells.

What are glass bottles made of?
Glass , of course. Most glass is based on silica (sand), and has lime (calcium carbonate, like chalk) and soda (sodium carbonate, like for laundry detergent.) These two make the silica melt at a lower temperature., Most glass you see has some lead salts in it , also, to make it sparkle--hence"lead crystal". "Pyrex" brand has borax in it (sodium borate) for high temperatures. Of course, colored glass has other things in it--Uranium salts make a bright lime-green; etc.
