The human immune system is already pretty amazing.

Shuffling DNA around to come up with a structure that binds to just about every possible 3-D molecular shape? WOW!

Nobody supposes it alters the DNA of a bacteria; but if you have any evidence of it, I am all ears! Meanwhile there are many mechanisms bacteria have to acquire DNA for foreign sources and put them to use.

You, yourself, admitted that the human defense mechanism is amazing, yet, you're willing to accept that a bacteria possesses a power more amazing than that of the human body, and it's defense mechanisms and it's DNA? Researchers are still discovering many new things about the human defense mechanisms, so, why is the study about the Gonorrhea bacteria just a one-sided or one way street? If we were to be the "weaklings" that the article suggests, with the superior abilities of the Gonorrhea bacterium, we wouldn't stand a chance against any bacteria or virus.
