"Soap IS antibacterial."
I don't think so. Soap is more of a dispersal agent that allows bacteria to be washed away. Something that is 'antibacterial' is something that kills bacterial, isn't it?

Not sure about the terminology, but I have read reports that compared soap that was and was not antibacterial. The comparison dealt with the amount of bacteria left after hand washing, and if I recall correctly, there was little or no difference between the two types of soap.
