This is like arguing that if you have a pea shooter than can kill earthworms then there's an excellent chance it will kill giant tortoises too. Bacterial cell walls are very different from the outer envelope of a virus. Let's put it this way -- if a bacteriacide gets past the cell wall and ruptures the cell membrane of a bacterium, it may very well also be able to rupture the cell membrane of eukaryotic cells. If so, it would be highly toxic to eukaryotes like humans. You are hoping for a perfect world where micelles can shred the cell walls or cell membranes of prokaryotic cells but just happen to be harmless to eukaryotic cells. That may be a logical possibility, but it is a might slender reed upon which to hang one's hopes.
