I would suggest running a search on haloBacter, enterobacter and Gram positive and gram negative. that should give you a huge list of possible bacteria.
however a few you can use..
Escherichia Coli (found in your gut) cause of food poisoning
Bacillus Subtilis(used for manufacturing of Enzymes)
Bacillus Cereus(food poisoning)
Bacillus anthracis (ANTHRAX)
