What bacteria are in plaque?

i need to know which of these : bacilli, cocci and spirilla


are in plaque which not, and what their abundance is and what they do!

What bacteria are in plaque?
There millions of bacteria in plaque! Yuck!





Bacilli and cocci are definitely in there, I am not certain about spirilla.





The bacilli family of bacteria are linked to food poisoning (there are several types of bacilli bacteria).





The cocci family of bacteria...easy one. Streptococcus or staphylococcus aureaus (various strep and staph infections). Those are just two out of many.





Try googling the bacteria to see what you get. There's a plethuora of info out there. :)
