Question Beneficial Bacteria Beneficial??

I like to use a coco husk mix for my outdoor cymbidiums and aussie gold for my indoor phals. On other threads, I have heard these mixes described as 'sterile'. I am taking this to mean the media offers no natural micro-organisms? I have seen beneficial bacterial additives offered from reputable online stores and wondered if this would be a worth while product to add to my fertilizer regime. If I am using worm tea now, will this suffice? If not, any brand names that could be recommended? Obviously - I am moving beyond the 'Just Don't Kill Them' to the 'Let's Grow them Better' stage! (and really enjoying all the possibilities......) Thanks for any and all responses!
