Different bacteria, and different strains of the same bacteria, have varying resistance to all types of countermeasures.
Read what I said. "after the bleach you'll still have roughly that same mix". If you have 40 million times more A than E, after bleach you'll *still* have a lot more A than E, unless A is a wimp and E is a statistical outlier on the hardy end. And that sort of thing happens. Even after bleach, there will be A left on your hands, and you'll leave A all over the place. You find a keyboard that has no measurable A on it but lots of other stuff, it's pretty likely that you didn't touch that keyboard. I specifically pointed out it's "enough to get a search warrant" quality, and I'll stand by that. And I'll point out that in fact, I can conclusively prove that the distributions will remain reasonably stable - if applying bleach skewed the ratios *that* much, then explain why repeated hand-washing results in people still having a distribution stable enough that the concept is workable?
