The term germaphobe as well as bacillophobe and bacteriophobe is used but is an informal definition for a person who is afraid of dirt, germs, and/or bacteria. The more formal and common terminology for the fear of germs or of being infected and which is also related to OCD type behaviours (e.g. chronic hand washing) is referred to as mysophobia. Therefore someone with these fears would be considered a mysophobe.
