Neither the page linked, nor the article cited mentions what they are. However, alkalizing is very common in laundry detergence, so does that mean we are walking around with loads of microorganisms that have flourished in the wash water?

Bottom line: poor hygiene and sloppy habits = disease candidate. The lazy way to handle this is to try to kill everything.
