And were the parts of them that were once vulnerable just vestigial? it seems to me like eventually something would hit a snag, since I imagine there was a reason the pathways that were used to kill the bacteria with the antibiotics were originally open. Being immune to chemicals that gently caress with basic stuff like your cell wall synthesis takes energy and resources that could be spent reproducing. Bacteria without immunity will outcompete immune bacteria in a benign environment.
