Answer:

This is because antibiotic resistance can be caused by bacteria getting the ability to be unaffected by the antibiotics Also, people not taking their medication for the entire duration exposes the bacteria to the antibiotic and makes it stronger. Also, when people overuse antibiotics and mutations occur, the bacteria becomes antibiotic resistant.
