Also, it's a bacterial infection, so several antibiotics are effective treatment against it, no?

Its still around. It turns up from time to time in Colorado New Mexico or Arizona. I think usually in children that have been bitten by mice or rats, but it can be treated with antibiotics and so they may end up in the hospital but treated okay.
