With the new sharklet skin if the bacteria does not stick to its skin then where would the bacteria go?

Sharklet is a new technology that inhibits the growth of bacteria. A Florida-based company called Sharklet Technologies is bringing the technology to market. Sharklet is actually a microscopic pattern that may be imprinted onto films or manufactured directly onto the surface of objects themselves. This pattern creates an energetically unstable surface that results an inhospitable environment for bacteria. When bacteria come in contact with the surface they simply die because the energy to live and reproduce is too great.
Sharklet is inspired by the microbe resistant properties of shark skin. Sharks have a unique ability to stay clean of algae and barnacles in the ocean because the shape of their denticles. These denticles are arranged in a specific pattern that account for its microbial resistance.
Finally, it's worth noting that because Sharklet doesn't kill bacteria to inhibit its growth - it doesn't contribute to the serious and growing problem of bacterial resistance. Years and years of using kill technologies (antibiotics, disinfectants, etc.) have made bacteria stronger. Sharklet is a welcome alternative because it does not kill bacteria in order to inhibit its growth.
