Ever since I started homebrewing I have heard the odd comment about yeast eating the bacteria in the beer once fermentation is complete. I have searched high and low, and cannot find anything that remotely confirms this. Is this just a myth??

It's not true, that's for sure. Where have you heard this?
I have never ever ever heard this before, and I've been brewing for close to 14 years.
Yeast eat sugar. The production of alcohol will kill off the bacteria but it's still there. It's just dead.
