It won't self-correct overnight. It takes decades of research to identify new antibiotics, ensure they are safe and effective, get them approved, and bring them to market.

Our current batch of antibiotics already attack bacteria in very different ways. How many new classes can we invent which are effective against bacteria but non-toxic to humans?
