Edit to preface: Forgive the potentially naive question but -what happens when some form of bacteria (or something) evolves in a way that renders it hardy enough to survive far-uvc? The article mentioned it's ability to destroy superbugs..just wondering if any thought has been given to unintended side effects like this.

I mean that’s like considering the ability for an organism to survive bleach. It’s not impossible, but my understanding is would be as difficult as building trinary /fuzzy logic CPUs. Basically reinventing it from the ground up.

It’s hard to evolve against instant death. When the atomic level chemistry/physics is against you, you’re fighting a losing battle.
