Won't there always be somewhere though? Until we have a fully developed planet with no empty land, there's going to be swamps, tar pits, decomposition in nature

Won't there always be somewhere though? Until we have a fully developed planet with no empty land, there's going to be swamps, tar pits, decomposition in nature and a plethora of other strange things on Earth that could give bacteria places to grow. Not to mention space-bacteria!
If all of our countries with health systems designed for our bacteria aren't equipped to handle more advanced bacteria, wouldn't it take just one explorer to bring back a species-threatening disease?
- opportune 7y agoSure, but that somewhere would be very unlikely to have antibiotics, making the development of further antibiotic resistance unlikely. Non-antibiotic resistant bacteria is very easy to treat and is essentially a solved problem. The space thing is irrelevant. You can't develop pharmaceuticals meant to kill things you don't know anything about
