Eli5 – why do you take antibiotics as a course and not all at once?

I’ve just started an antibiotics course which is 4 times a day for 10 days and that got me wondering if they would be just as effective if I took them all and why not.

Heard of a guy with a VD who was given tetracycline (an antibiotic) to be taken over a months time.

He took them all at once to get rid of the VD quicker, and admitted to the Hospital later that day.
