This post only applies to people who believe in evolution, and if you don't believe in evolution than I have some penicillin you might like to buy.
As long as we use the current class of antibiotics to cure disease, then the only survival option for bacteria is to evolve or acquire resistance to the antibiotics that we throw at them. This is because antibiotics kill all bacteria, not just the ones that hurt us. if we can make something that specifically targets bacteria that are harming us, then we open the option for them to evolve to be harmless. Yeah, that is a nearly impossible task, but it is nice to think about.
