Bacteria is constantly mutating. Sooner or later it'll mutate into a strain that is resistant to antibiotics

"Antibiotic use promotes development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Every time a person takes antibiotics, sensitive bacteria are killed, but resistant germs may be left to grow and multiply. Repeated and improper uses of antibiotics are primary causes of the increase in drug-resistant bacteria.

While antibiotics should be used to treat bacterial infections, they are not effective against viral infections like the common cold, most sore throats, and the flu. Widespread use of antibiotics promotes the spread of antibiotic resistance. Smart use of antibiotics is the key to controlling the spread of resistance."
When someone takes less than the prescribed amount of an antibiotic over time, that leaves behind the most resistant individuals. They then multiply, leaving a whole colony of resistant bacteria.

Mutation after continuous exposure. That is why colds and viruses should not get antibiotics.
