Rabies Viral Untreated 99.9%[5] Preventable with vaccines down to ~0% CFR and treatable with PEP but, once the symptoms manifest, the CFR is near 100%. Around 16 documented survivors after symptom onset, all but 3 did not receive any Rabies (specific) treatment at any time before symptom onset. Of those 3, only 1 survived without the use of a therapeutic coma [6]
Balamuthia Amoeba Opportunistic & Untreated[7] ~100% 2 survivors, both have permanent brain damage. [8][circular reference]
Glanders, septicemic Bacterial Untreated 95% The rate drops significantly to >50% with treatment. [9]

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Viral ~60% [18]
Bubonic plague Bacterial Unvaccinated & Untreated [5–60]% [10]:57
