Pretty much all of them.
A typical density would be anywhere from a thousand to a million organisms per square centimetre, depending on how moist the foot has been and for how long. Typical residents include diptheroids, micrococci, and many others. Staphylococcus aureus is the most commonly found one.
It is quite simply not true that any antibacterial agent can reduce this count to zero. There are many bacteria that are quite hardy and can resist even alcohol solutions which will kill your own cells. What's more, pores, cracks, and so on are often very difficult for any solution to penetrate. Even if you could completely sterilize the surface of your foot, contact with any non-sterile object (like air) would re-contaminate it in seconds. Link 2 explains that at length.
Any product that claims to completely eliminate bacteria, therefore, is probably exaggerating at best and overtly lying and manipulating the data at worst.
