Is this considered OK to do? Any downside to doing it?

Did I get this wrong?In my opinion, anerobic bacteria are not universally the "unfriendly" bacteria nor are aerobic bacteria the "friendly bacteria" as I have read that pathogens are found in both groups of bacteria. Just as not all gram negative bacteria are pathogens, nor are all gram postiive ones "friendly". I may be misnaiming these groups...... Silver so far as I have read kills ALL bacteria, period, no matter their type or species, though some are harder to kill than others. I have to date read nothing I consider credible that has changed my belief. sol
