Bacteria can become extinct. Just like any living organism, a bacterial species can become extinct. However it is less likely that bacteria will be extinct or that we will recognize a species as being extinct. First of all, bacteria are highly adaptable, some have spores, which is sort of like hibernation. Also, bacteria can live in some very poor conditions if need be. Also, there are so many bacteria on this planet, and they are relatively hard to see and enumerate, so if a species we thought was extinct could truly not be confirmed.
