It's actually not a big deal.
Run it with vinegar. Full a bowl with vinegar and place it on the top rack and run it with the hottest steam setting. 100% sterile inside afterward.
If she ran it with a very hot heated dry setting with the plunger, it's possible it's all disinfected anyway. Lots of people used the dish washer to sterilize jars for canning. The steam from the drying cycle is hot enough and last long enough to pasteurize everything.
Household Dishwashers do not sterilise, they only sanitise at best (with a 65° (150°F)). For sterilisation of all microorganisms including spores they would need to heat up to 120°C (250°F) for several minutes.
That being said you most likely breath in your own poop particles all the time, so sanitation may be enough.
it's part of our microflora that floats around us.
It's just a social convention.
A mere faux pas.
