You're worrying about nothing. How many bugs are resistant to bleach
or peracetic acid?

Enough to require a regular rotation of disinfectants, to maintain their
effectiveness.

Use whichever you prefer, but don't assume plastic
is intrinsically safer. It's not.

Obviously, next time I build a medical clean room, I should ignore the
microbiologist and line it with wood - so much nicer to look at than all
that easily cleaned plastic and metal.

If you really want to worry about
something, worry about the staff not washing their hands after
scratching their knackers!

Is E Coli really that prevalent there?
