I suppose you could use antibiotics like regular salmonella treatment. Scientists are also trying to implement a way of population control where once the bacteria population reaches a certain mass, the cells rupture, killing 90% of the population leaving the 10% to repopulate due to the fact the early test subjects died due to toxicity.

Thanks for the feedback.
