Bleаch kills bаcteriа, but yоu dоn’t pоur bleach into your ear to treat an ear infection because bleach would damage your cells as well as bacteria. Thus, you need to find a way to specifically target only bacteria, not your own cells. Bacterial cells have peptidoglycan cell walls, but human cells don’t.
