Re:Gonorrhea Is Becoming Untreatable, U.N. Health Officials ... by frankus on Tuesday August 30, 2016 @11:27PM (#12395809)
Some (maybe all?) bacteria are capable of horizontal gene transfer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_gene_transfer#Proka...)

For example if someone were infected with both antibiotic-resistant gut bacteria (acquired from eating contaminated meat) and gonorrhea, it's possible the latter could acquire antibiotic resistance genes from the former.
