Sunlight is electromagnetic energy. It's like a radio wave, only higher frequency. And a number of different energies are present in sunlight. The higher energies are the ones above the violet end of the spectrum - the ultra-violet (UV) energies. UV light can cause some changes in biochemical substances, and some of these are harmful to living organisms. But the energies present in UV light aren't outright "killers" of bacteria. They can affect the chemistry of a bacteria and kill some of them, but can't really shred the life out of all of them.

Exposure to sunlight implies exposure to fresh air too, and the oxygen in the atmosphere will kill or at least slow the multiplication of some bacteria.
