No. A dishwasher will not sanitize dishes unless the option is turned on. A normal cycle will use very hot water to wash and it’s good enough. A sanitary cycle heats water to 170 degrees. You should have a good reason to use this cycle.
To sanitize dishes with bleach, you can add about 1 tablespoon (15mL) of bleach per gallon of water in the sink. Make sure to properly dilute the bleach and rinse the dishes thoroughly with clean water after sanitizing them.
Some of the withdrawn CSF is also put into special lab dishes to allow growth of the infecting organism, which can then be identified more easily.
Between 60 and 71˚C for washing, and 82 or higher for at least ten seconds to sanitize. You can also sanitize at low temp if you use chemicals (e.g. 100ppm chlorine).
Chlorine bleach helps to disinfect and remove tough stains on dishes in the dishwasher. It can kill bacteria and sanitize the dishes, leaving them clean and germ-free. However, using too much bleach can damage delicate dishes and harm the dishwasher over time.
It is not recommended to put bleach in dishwater, as it can leave harmful residues on dishes and utensils that may not be safe for food contact. Additionally, mixing bleach with other cleaning agents can produce toxic fumes. If you need to sanitize dishes, consider using a dishwasher with a sanitize cycle or a food-safe sanitizer instead. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning products.
The wash water temperature in a dishwasher should be 140oF to 160oF to avoid baking the food on the dishes. The rinse water needs to be 82oC (180oF) for 60 seconds.
Bleach. Read the instructions on the bottle. I think it's a 1/4 cup of bleach to a gallon of water.

The proper order of steps when using a 3-compartment dishwashing sink is: Pre-wash or scrape dishes to remove food debris. Wash dishes in the first sink with hot, soapy water. Rinse dishes in the second sink with clean water. Sanitize dishes in the third sink with a sanitizing solution.
A dishwasher that uses hot water for sanitization must achieve a final rinse temperature of at least 180°F (82°C) to effectively kill bacteria and sanitize dishes. This high temperature ensures that harmful pathogens are eradicated, making the dishes safe for use. Proper functioning and temperature monitoring are essential for compliance with health and safety standards.
