No, hot sauce does not kill bacteria. There are hundreds of different bacteria. Some can be killed by heating them to a high enough temperature, others can be killed with antibacterial washes and other chemicals. Hot sauce is not one of the ways. Since hot sauce usually contains a lot of vinegar, it is difficult for bacterial to grow in it, but it won't kill bacteria that is already growing.
