The common cold is caused by a virus, not by bacteria. You can get the bacteria that cause Legionnaire's disease building up in the fluid in air conditioning units and then getting vaporized into the air, but I don't see how spraying more bacteria around is going to stop you from breathing in the ones the AC is blowing into your face.

I'd be very curious about which bacteria you have in your spray, and which bacteria they're supposed to be displacing.
