I'm not a microbiologist at all, but I don't think so. If big organisms can be mirrored, so will microbes. You need various good bacteria so already have to mirror those. If you've got the mirrored organisms with mirrored DNA and RNA, it's pretty certain virii and bacteria will form from it at some point.
On another note, it's a shame we don't have a 4th dimension that we can rotate ourselves through to mirror ourselves, that would be interesting!
