We can start with the literature/database already in existence ;)
http://www.homd.org/
The goal of creating the Human Oral Microbiome Database (HOMD) is to
provide the scientific community with comprehensive information on
the approximately 700 prokaryote species that are present in the human
oral cavity. Approximately 49% are officially named, 17% unnamed (but
cultivated) and 34% are known only as uncultivated phylotypes. The
HOMD presents a provisional naming scheme for the currently unnamed
species so that strain, clone, and probe data from any laboratory can
be directly linked to a stably named reference scheme. The HOMD links
sequence data with phenotypic, phylogenetic, clinical, and
bibliographic information. Genome sequences for oral bacteria
determined as part of this project, the Human Microbiome Project, and
other sequencing projects are being added to the HOMD as they become
available. Genomes for 315 oral taxa (46% of taxa on HOMD) are
currently available on HOMD. The HOMD site offers easy to use tools
for viewing all publically available oral bacterial genomes. Welcome!
