I've never understood why alien bacteria are a perceived threat. Viruses and bacteria share the same genetic material as we do, and literally evolved to infect organisms of that ilk. I have always supposed that alien viruses would just be inert, and alien bacteria would rapidly die off in the inhospitable environment of an earth-organism's body.
