The attached picture shows how bacteria gain antibiotic resistance. Firstly, a few individuals attain a beneficial mutation in their genetic material that accords them the capability to survive in an antibiotic. The individuals are hence able to survive and reproduce more than those individuals without the mutation. There is, therefore, a genetic shift in the population in favor of the resistant genotype. After generations, the whole population becomes antibiotic resistant.

Each new popular technique which is learnt by one country tends to become popular and learnt by other countries. For example, the usage of a social app starts with a few members of a population using it and with time it becomes popular in the whole world.
