    I'm more whigged out by fungal infections than by a bacterial one (eg:plague). But for this creepy fungus, there's a ray of hope.

        A deadly hospital fungus that resists nearly every antifungal drug may
        have an unexpected weakness. Researchers discovered that Candida auris
        activates specific genes during infection to hunt for nutrients it 
        needs to survive.
