Bacteria can evolve and alter their DNA at an alarming rate. If something targets a strand of RNA, they they move it or rearrange it. If it destroys the cell wall they can make enzymes that neutralize it or hide from the antibiotic.
They can trade DNA with other bacteria via conjugation. So if you have 2 bacterium resistant one resistant and one vulnerable, you can soon have 2 resistant ones.
Over-prescription and not finishing a prescription is the main cause.
