There is something extra in a zombie bite beyond just standard bacteria from a rotting corpse.
I think if we are extending reality to believe that the dead reanimate we could extend it to believe that their bite causes an infection that kills you. It doesn't matter what the cause of infection is, because the result is still the same. To each their own. Maybe they will explain later, but in any case, this discussion has been quite enjoyable.
