I would guess that the pore size of the Brita pitcher (if it even has a membrane filter in it) is too large to effectively filter out bacteria. My MSR MiniWorks EX microfilter has a pore size of .2 microns.

My response is based on consulting with my husband (chemical engineer) and my friend (environmental engineer), both of whom have taken classes in wastewater treatment.
