It was my understanding that HEPA filters removed dust and dirt particles,
water droplets, spores (esp. fungal) and other particles which the airborne
bacteria call home. It is these particles (down to about 10um) that are
being removed not individual bacterial cells. Bacteria do not generally live
free in the air
