What bacteria are located in the saliva of a Komodo Dragon2007-11-24 2:03:15Answers:
There are over 50 different types of bacteria in Komodo saliva. Here is an excerpt on the most common:
"While Escherichia coli was the most common bacterium isolated from the saliva of wild dragons, this species was not present in captive dragons. The most common bacteria isolated from the saliva of captive dragons were Staphylococcus capitis and Staphylococcus capitis and Staphylococcus caseolyticus, neither of which were found in wild dragons."

You should direct this question towards the zoo experts that can give you a proper answer - personally I'd run a mile PDQ if one of them were to come anywhere near me!
I think a question with a shorter answer would be "What bacteria AREN'T in a Komodo's saliva."
