Bad breath "halitosis" is a frequent unpleasant odor of breath. Bad breath is infected by gram negative anaerobic bacteria in tongue coating. These bacteria have a tendency of producing foul-smelling sulphur containing gases called volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs). Both anaerobic and aero tolerant bacteria associated with human halitosis condition are being reported. The profile includes (Prevotella intermedia (6.66%), Porphyromonas endontalis (10%) and Veillonella spp. (13.3%). (Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (13.3%), Streptococcus salivarius (13.3%) and Streptococcus oralis (10%). This profile consists of commonal, soft tissue and hard tissue associated pathogen as well as an animal associated pathogens.
