Ancient 'Superbugs' Discovered in Cave: DNews Nuggets : Discovery News: "True X-Files Plot? We all know the story: An ancient (probably alien) strain of dormant bacteria is thawed from Arctic ice that kills (or possesses) anyone it infects.

This is curious as it goes to show that bacteria are rather clever at defending themselves against our finest medicines despite having never come into contact with humans. Let's just hope they're not blowtorch-resistant."
