Re: Dog/Human mouth bacteria
Hi,
Science Buddies has a project you could modify for your purposes here: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p017.shtml . Instead of placing samples of dishrags and sponges in the tubes, however, you would place swabs from your mouth or your dog's mouth.
I would also suggest you read Science Buddies' microbiology guides (you can find them linked on this page: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... l?From=Tab) and that you be careful and follow appropriate safety procedures when working with bacteria.
Here's an interesting article from wikipedia that may help you get started with your background research. I would highly suggest looking up some of the references that it cites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_licking .
