Just read a news article about how 3 completely new types of bacteria have been found on the international space station due to it’s isolation, if that’s the case then how did they get there if we have never observed them before? what created them?

They are simply new strains of species we have and know about here on earth already. They are not new species.

You could think of them like strains of the flu (which is a virus, but the comparison works). It’s still the flu, but has a few new qualities that differ slightly from the original. This is why we have new flu shots every year.
