Are bacteria found in humans?
Bacteriophges do not infect humans. They only infect the bacteria they are specific to. Once they have destroyed all of the bacteria they have infected, your immune system efficiently removes the bacteriophages from your system. Bacteriophages are self-limiting and harmless to humans. Peggy Steele

What microbes are in your mouth?
Your mouth is a fertile home for millions of bacteria. Your brain tells your mouth to prepare for the arrival of food by secreting saliva, which is why your mouth waters when you see, smell, or even think about food. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase, which begins the digestion of starchy foods, such as potatoes and rice, and it moistens and lubricates food to help swallowing. Saliva also contains antimicrobial substances that inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. But Streptococcus mutans thrives in your mouth and can easily bypass these defenses. It also loves sugar, and uses it to form a film, or plaque, on the surfaces of teeth. Bacteria thriving within these plaques turn sugar into acid, which then creates cavities in your teeth. However, large numbers of S.mutans suppresses the growth of another bacterium found in the mouth, Streptococcus pneumoniae, which can cause pneumonia and meningitis. By restricting the numbers of S.pneumoniae, S.mutansdecreases the risk of these serious diseases developing, so it's more important to keep sugar and refined carbohydrates out of your mouth than it is to try to eliminate all the bacteria.

Who has more bacteria a dog's mouth or people's mouth?
A dog has more bacteria due to the things it eats, chases after and who knows what else it did?? I tested this for a science project one year. I used petri dishes and swabbed 3 dog's mouths and 3 humans' mouths. I found that more bacteria grew in the humans petri dish. Good to know that we take better care of ourselves then dogs.....
Does a dog's mouth have more bacteria than a toilet seat?
Actually, yes. Some truly nasty bacteria such as streptococcus (the bacteria that causes strep throat, among other things) is one of many that can be found on toilet seats. A dog's mouth on the other hand, can house colonies of bacteria. Now, just to put that in perspective, the human mouth also houses colonies of bacteria but a dog's mouth has been shown to house significantly more colonies than those of a human. For more information on both bacteria found on toilet seats and bacteria found in a dog's mouth, see the related links.
