This is clearly an important issue especially in Microbiology and is also one of the reasons why US hospitals went through a phase where they switched from making it mandatory to wash hands using soap and water to using antimicrobial sanitizers then back to using soap and water based on research and studies conducted in hospitals across the country.

The overuse of antimicrobial sanitizers in a sense "over sanitize" and are one of the many factors contributing to the continuing emergence of resistant bacteria (in addition to over medicating and incomplete antibiotic regiments)
