The testing that we had done at UT indicates that CS is effective in killing both anaerobic as well as aerobic bacteria. Many, many bacteria can switch from one to the other at will, so in a way this is good, otherwise, lots of the bad guys would switch to aerobic until the danger was past. Also may aerobic bacteria cause disease, so it is not really a valid way to separate the good from the bad. Plus good bacteria can end up in the wrong place and be bad. For instance, the good intestinal bacteria can end up in a vagina and create real havoc.
The reason the CS does not kill bacteria significantly in the intestines is that it must be very mobile to be effective. It attracts bacteria by it's positive charge and then zaps them. If the CS particles and bacteria are in a solid matrix then neither can move until they contact, thus the effectiveness is greatly reduced. This is actually the best of all possibilities.
