No, but on its own it would take a lot longer to go away, and there might be complications while your immune system is stressed. If you were weak in the first place before you got it, it could contribute to death maybe.

Bacteria can't be resistant to everything. There will always be working treatments, it's just they will take longer to work, have more side effects, be more expensive to obtain et cetera. This isn't an apocalyptic problem, more of an increasing inconvenience like climate change would be.
