They seem to have thought of that, although all the details of the study aren't 
there.  I would like to see some kind of follow-up on extreme measures, such as 
bleach, or extensive use of gel sanitizers.

I suspect that the histological makeup would favour certain populations of bacteria 
and hinder others, so I'm not surprised that this might work.
