Possible plot hole: Inside vs. Outside of the Bubble


I understand that all of the precautions taken were necessary to prevent the transfer of germs from outside of the bubble to the inside where the bubble boy lived. But what's never explained is how the doctors kept the germs that were inside the bubble away from him. Surely those germs should have been accounted for cause they would kill him just as quickly.
