      Bacteria are found everywhere, but toilets are especially ideal places for bacteria to live, because they are damp…and bacteria love living in these kinds of places! Loads of different types of bacteria can be found in toilets, but the most common types would be E.coli, Staphylococcus, Clostridium, and then viruses such as norovirus.
