Eh, there's stuff that eats wood but we still build our houses out of it. Paper disintegrates pretty gosh darn easy if you leave it outside but we still use plenty of it. Most steel rusts in the right conditions, including the stuff in infrastructure.

I don't think plastic eating bacteria would be as much of a problem as people make it out to be.

We might even form a symbiotic relationship with it. It feeds on the micro-plastic in our blood and we get to live long enough to make the next man-made horror beyond our current comprehension.
