Why we wont lose to a Super Disease

Recently there have been news articles about some new version of gonorrhea that is resistive to the first defense created by humans.  This Super Gonorrhea has gotten some of the media worried about the possible pattern that will lead to the end of the human race. 

The current theory is that as our species continues to use these antibiotics and other treatments to kill off these bacteria, germs, viruses, etc... we're really just practicing a sort of evolution.  We're killing off the weaker ones, and eventually we'll be left with some super bacteria that we couldnt cope with.

I dont think this apocalyptic vision is plausible.  I dont think the human race will be completely wiped out, because our technology is better than nature.
