Good point I guess, though I'm not much of a movie-goer or television-watcher so I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Can you name the movies I've not seen?
But I do gather kudzu is really no big problem in the South and they have good uses for it there.
So maybe you're right; adapted bacteria is no threat whatsoever.
Eh - it's already a naturally occurring bacteria. It hasn't done irreparable damage in its natural state.
Can I quote you on this?
Youve watched too many disaster movies from the 70s
“Good point I guess, though I’m not much of a movie-goer or television-watcher so I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Can you name the movies I’ve not seen?”
Let’s see: Frogs, Piranha, Killer Bees...
Of course, I can’t possibly know which movies you haven’t seen, because I’m not psychic. But those are the movies to which I refer.
“But I do gather kudzu is really no big problem in the South and they have good uses for it there.

Kudzu is vegetation, not bacteria, and it naturally occurs in Japan, where it is no threat whatever. Animals and vegetables removed from their natural environment, where they are compatible, and put in an environment where they are incompatible with the local ecosystem are indeed a threat. Adapted vegetation is used all the time. It’s at your supermarket and in seed catalogs.

No, because I never said it and never would. Bubonic plague, typhus, smallpox and cholera are naturally occurring bacteria, but so is yogurt culture. Are you racially profiling single-cell organisms?
