All this talk makes me think of the 'unkillable' T1 phage. Just a tidbit copied from the internet[1]:
'T1 is not easy to get rid off. The best solution of all is to not use T1-sensitive strains. You’ll need to bleach the hell out of everything as well as UV irradiate if possible. And I mean everything, water baths, glassware, specs, pipets, your wife and kids (the latter is probably deserving of a good bleaching anyways). This is serious business T1 can exist in aerosol form for up to a few months, so it’s going to take regular cleaning and testing intervals. In a previous lab it took about six months to a year of solid effort to eradicate our T1 infection.'
