Or we're going to go with bacteriophages.

I'm reading a really cheesy thriller right now that has a nasty virus that turns our normal helpful bacteria turn against us. so it has really weird stuff like your skin bacteria turning into the flesh eating sort and stuff. It's a fairly amusing popcorn read.

also someone gets eaten by biolumiscent squid, so that gives it extra popcorn points for me!

Interestingly, commensal bacteria are thought to contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria, especially in Neisseria, which love to talk to each other.
