I feel like I should point out a few glaring issues of this post:
First of all, it’s called Streptomyces avermitilis, not avermictilis.
Secondly, the notion that it was only found by this one scientist in Japan and never found again is laughably silly. it’s found all over the place. It just doesn’t need to be rediscovered because after finding a single sample you can extract tons of what you need from it. This bacteria grows in nature in marshes and grasslands. For example, below is a study where they used various soil samples from Pakistan where they found streptomyces avermitilis
Thank you for pointing out a typo, that I apologized for already (there were several you
missed, actually) but am personally very sorry. Secondly, I am well aware it doesn't need to be rediscovered and can be grown by the gallon. There are few things that do need to be rediscovered. The Holy Grail? According to the article, it hadn't been found in other soils despite actively searching for decades. I will take a look at the article you posted, so thanks for that, sincerely. The great thing about conversation is that you can add and correct things, instead of trying to censor.
The typo isn't just in your title, I'm not knocking that. The typo is throughout the blog post. At that point it goes beyond a simple typo IMO. I'm not trying to police spelling, I just tried to do some research on the strain of bacteria on my own and I was corrected in my search
According to your article, it hasn't been found anywhere else. But according to the research paper I linked, there were tests done on samples they found in Pakistan. There were other stories I found detailing this specific strain of bacteria and noted how it's not uncommon to find it. I wouldn't go off of one blog post to believe that it's only been found in one location. It's far from the "holy grail" of bacterium.

People need to do more thorough research before things like this get stickied
