No, bacteria must have certain things to survive such as food and a certain temperature, which would explain why boiling water purifies it of bacteria; most bacteria can't survive it. Also, bacteria can't grow in some deserts nor at the North and South poles; not enough food, awful temperatures. But...bacteria is very resourceful stuff, and you can find one species of it or another surviving *almost* anywhere.
