      Bacteria evolve, so if antibiotics are used but some bacteria survive, amybe because people have not finished taking all their medicines, then only the strongest and most resistant bacteria survive. When those bacteria spread, they will be resistant to antibiotics. When this happens many times, the bacteria are very hard to kill.
