hm. it does for cows milk.

OTOH, milk banks prescreen rather than pasteurize, but a)dunno how the logistics would work on volume if the reverse and b) raw cow's milk enthusiasts insist that the nutrient factors change with pasteurization. [edit: and on further thought, human milk banks are there for more than just nutrient value, but also immune factors etc...]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasteurization isn't getting me very far with what things current pasteurization usually handles. It became prevalent due to tuberculosis in cow's milk. Unfortunately my work life has turned to general insanity the last couple days so I really should wrest myself away from looking any further.

FWIW, regardless of what pasteurization does and doesn't handle, those participating would presumably not be planning to do so with knowledge of having those things you list, and one tends to be tested for just about anything imaginable while preparing to have a baby.
