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.

It kills weaker bug and superbigs survive, repeat this survival of the fittest dynamic and the result is that the “bug” has evolved to survive the antibiotics over fewer generations that it would have taken naturally. Simply put: It filters out all the bugs that don’t survive, leaving only the superbugs.
