It's simply the humidity in the environment. It's like the Amazon, sweltering with life. It's simply a natural spawning ground for bacteria but it's own existance. Saliva helps clean, but make sure you keep your mouth free from proteins (meats and beans, etc) and other loose food particles, and the bacteria will have very little to live on. The bad taste you taste in your mouth from bacteria is the waste that the bacteria excretes.

Bacteria are microscopically tiny living organisms that have been found in every environment in which they have been searched for, from ice to hydrothermal hot springs and on the surface and inside many areas of the body including inside our mouths. Some bacteria live in our mouths while others are taken into the mouth by food, drink and airflow. Recent studies indicate that there are far more types of bacteria than formerly thought, especially in ocean water. These studies have suggested that there may be more than 10 million types of bacteria in the oceans alone. A mouthful of seawater may contain as many as 1,000 different types. Some bacteria are pathogenic which means they cause diseases. The vast majority are not pathogens, in fact they do many things that are helpful to humans. They decay substances and return the elements to the soil for reuse. They break down toxic substances, etc.
Bad breath is often caused by substances in the mouth such as various types of food such as garlic, and many other substances such as cigarette smoke. Chronic bad breath, halitosis, is caused by a persistent, overpopulation of oral bacteria, primarily streptococcus mutans.

Bacteria cover every inch of the external surface our bodies...as well as some of the internal surfaces. Different areas of the body can better support different types of bacteria. The oral cavity harbors hundreds of different types of bacteria. We obtain the bacteria in our mouths from close contact with our guardians at a young age (mom and dad kissing you on the face near your mouth, biting larger pieces of food for you, blowing on your baby food). So, although you genetically inherit the size, shape, and position of your parents' teeth, you get their bacteria well after you are born. This means that if your parents have gums disease...you could have gum disease. If your parents have many cavities...you probably have the bacteria that cause cavities.

To kill other bacteria that flows in our mouth so that we don't get sick or infected so easily. We have several bacteria's in our entire body for those same reasons.

BACTERIA ARE FOUND IN EVERY PART OF THE BODY, INSIDE THE BODY THEY HELP US LIVE. IT'S ONLY WHEN THEY GET OUT OF CONTROL OR WHEN OUR BODIES CAN'T TAKE CONTROL OF THEM THAT WE GET INTO TROUBLE. IF WE DIDN'T HAVE BACTERIA IN OUR MOUTHS WE WOULDN'T BE ALIVE.

oral bacteria helps begin the digestion process. and the first stage of digestion takes place in the mouth, through chewing and saturation with saliva.
