The Bacillus group of organisms will completely out compete the indigenous organisms as the environmental conditions in the waste water will favor them and be detrimental to the pathogenic strains. In addition the Bacillus group will directly inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Competitive exclusion is the term we use to show that the safe bacteria that perform a beneficial function compete for the available nutrients and overwhelm the environment thereby excluding the pathogenic strains (or non pathogenic strains that cause bad odors) from establishing and dominating. Very few pathogenic strains would grow in non-body conditions.
