From the article:

But for the general public, the implications of the study are simpler. “A microwave is not a pure, pristine place,” Porcar says. It’s also not a pathogenic reservoir to be feared, he says. But he does recommend cleaning your kitchen microwave often — just as often as you would scrub your kitchen surfaces to eliminate potential bacteria.

That makes sense that some degree of bacteria survives - even if its minuscule. Like how any disinfectant is only 99.9% effective

Imagine how tough the surviving organisms are to be able to survive that...
