Before explaining my issue, I’d like to point out the fact that english is neither my native language nor is it the language of studies in my country. So I hope I’ll be making myself clear.
It’s always possible for the bacteria to develop resistance for a certain kind of antibiotic, so finishing your antibiotic or not seems irrelevant once the mutation appears because the new bacterial strain will have the possibility to multiply and so on …
so is the good use of antibiotics only slowing down the pace of the superbugs rise ?Thank you in advance.

When people don’t finish their full prescription, often because they think they don’t need to because they feel better, it sometimes allows the last few bacteria to survive. But now, those bacteria have been exposed to the antibiotic and they mutate to protect themselves, allowing them to survive next time they see the same antibiotic.
