∙ 14y agoThey might run out of food, or produce toxins that kill each other. Being cold can stop some but not all - but generally slow them down , that's why you put food in the fridge. Other, stronger strains of bacteria can keep a weaker strain at bay. One of the issues in kitchen hygiene is that if you use an antibacterial spray on your worksurfaces, you are killing maybe 99% of the bugs, leaving behind the ones that are resistant to your spray. They then have a clear field in which to reproduce. If you didn't use the spray, the normal ones would keep the resistant ones in check. Hot water and detergent would do a great job wiping all types of bugs away. Really though, bacteria are very successful organisms and are breeding happily inside your gut and on your skin all the time. This is nothing to worry about - most of them are your friends. You just need to be careful not to spread E.Coli from poo around the place as although it's fine in your lower gut you don't do well with it in your stomach, and you don't need other people's E.Coli. Salmonella is another one you won't be pleased to have in your food so make sure you coot meat thoroughly and reheat left overs properly.
