Killing bacteria that does harm to the body is why people take an antibiotic. Antibiotics are precribed for many different thing that we get sick from, strep throat, syphilis, respiratory infections, bladder infections, etc... Possible side effects are varied, and range from fever and nausea to major allergic reactions. One of the more common side effects is diarrhoea, which results from the antibiotic disrupting the normal balance of intestinal flora.
After taking an an antibiotic for the presribed time, you should alway follow with replenishing your intestinal flora. This can be done easily now. Almost every grocery store carries Dan Active, and if used every day you will be well on your way back to having the good bacteria in your system.
The andvantage of using soaps that say they have anti-macrobial ingredients is that you are killing the bacteria on your hands that could cause you to become ill. Same thing applies for washing your counter top after food has been on it.

Well, there's good bacteria and bad bacteria
That's why antibiotics are a problem as they kill off the good/needed bacteria with the bad/unwanted bacteria and can then cause a whole new set of sickness.
As for benefits in killing bacteria, besides the ones already mentioned, a huge one is the bacteria that grows in ones mouth
and as a result causes tooth decay, and even worse, eats away at gum tissue-which creates gum pockets-which if the bacteria isn't cleaned out will cause your teeth to fall out.

Now, why would you want to kill an itty-bity bacteria? Really! What kind are you asking about? Your own natural flora and fauna? Microbes in your gut? The source of BO?
Some microbes are necessary for survival. Others will kill you quick and dirty.
Some researchers contend that overuse of anti-bacterial soaps have caused mutations in strains such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria (GNRs). These little buggers need to be hit with a flame-thrower to kill them.
If you are talking about having bacteria on your hands or getting some on you from a toilet or sink that someone else has contaminated use soap. Soap does not kill bacteria. It just has an emulsifying effect which puts the organism into solution so it will be washed off.

Bacteria that cause disease are called pathogenic bacteria. Bacteria can cause diseases in humans, in other animals, and also in plants. Some bacteria can only make one particular host ill; others cause trouble in a number of hosts, depending on the host specificity of the bacteria. The diseases caused by bacteria are almost as diverse as the bugs themselves and include food poisoning, tooth ache, anthrax, even certain forms of cancer. It is impossible to sum up all bacterial diseases and it would be pretty boring. The Infectious Diseases fact sheets: http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/consumer/commun.htm (New York State Department of Health) gives clear descriptions of infectious diseases, including viral diseases and some infections caused by other organisms. Some diseases are named after the organisms that cause them, or is it the other way around?
If you want to have a look at pathogenic bacteria under the microscope view here: http://www.dmacc.cc.ia.us/instructors/scottie.htm
Bacteria are living things that are neither plants nor animals, but belong to a group all by themselves. They are very small--individually not more than one single cell--however there are normally millions of them together, for they can multiply really fast. Not all bacteria are harmful, are used in industry, and belong to the oldest living creatures on Earth. Fortunately our immune system knows how to deal with them. However not all bacteria are 'bad guys'. We need bacteria to stay alive.

There are two types of bacteria. The good and the bad. you do not want to kill the good bacteria. It helps you stay healthy. The reason you want to kill bad bacteria is so it does not harm you.
