Are there any bacteria species that specifically spread themselves through use of an infected hosts salivary glands?

I know that rabes does this, but that's a virus. I'm trying to find out whether there are any bacteria that also utilize this method of transmission.

Seriously, I've been looking a bit into this and can't seem to find anything definitive on the subject.

Seems to work well for a few different viruses, so wouldn't bacterial evolution lead to (at least one) notable case of this occurring within a species as well? Especially seeing how prevalent mouth-to-mouth feeding is across different animal species.... I'd have expected this to be a pretty good way to provide commensal oral bacteria from parents and their new/young offspring.

[pic unrelated, but nice enough to hopefully get some responses to ensure I am not just screaming alone into the void]

I tried researching it back in the day and found little except about cold or flue or stds.
Sharing food and utensils is a disgusting habit that a large number of people unfortunately do and it probably "updates" the hosts microbiome.
Also, you picked too shocking of an image in the way that people are gonna keep scrolling.

Strep throat? I know entire families that have come down with it.

No idea, but now I can’t stop thinking about how disgusting having a mouth is.
