Q. What are other methods to kill disease causing bacteria besides disinfectants?

A. If you mean limiting disease-causing microbes, then good hygiene is key - e.g. washing hands especially after blowing nose, covering nose with the front of the elbow when sneezing, etc. But for actually killing bacteria, antibiotics may be beneficial against certain types. Temperature is another method - heat (i.e. pasteurization, boiling, autoclave) may kill bacteria, refrigeration may slow their reproduction. pH is also important - many bacteria can't survive an acidic environment. Also, other microbes may outcompete pathogenic bacteria, thus limiting their spread. Finally, limiting available iron stores in the body reduces the "fuel" for many pathogenic bacteria.
