Innate Attack: 1 tox (Aura, +80%; Melee Attack C, -30%; Contact Agent, -30%; Accessibility: only on microorganisms, -20%) [1]

Any microbe that touched them would take 1 damage, and since I can't imagine many microbes have DR, or HP greater than 1, this would kill them, right?
Sure, though it won't penetrate flesh or barriers so it's not very useful, all it does is kill surface contaminants and you can generally do the same thing with soap or alcohol.
