Germs taken to space come back deadlier

This article reminded me of the show Invasion, whereby a space shuttle crashed into Earth carrying deadly germs from space...

"It sounds like the plot for a scary B-movie: Germs go into space on a rocket and come back stronger and deadlier than ever. Except, it really happened.

The germ: Salmonella, best known as a culprit of food poisoning. The trip: Space Shuttle STS-115, September 2006. The reason: Scientists wanted to see how space travel affects germs, so they took some along — carefully wrapped — for the ride. The result: Mice fed the space germs were three times more likely to get sick and died quicker than others fed identical germs that had remained behind on Earth."

Seems like real life can be like reel life, pretty scary if it happens...
