The over prescribing of anti-biotics and the misuse of them are the issue. As in most things, proper use is beneficial and improper use is detrimental. Bacteria can be killed a number of ways, however if you weaken, but do not wipe out the entire infestation, they can build a tolerance. Total annihilation is the only guarantee. People that discontinue their course of treatment prior to total eradication is why bacteria has gained resistance to antibiotics. Chemicals can also be used, however they all have restrictions on use. Honey creates hydrogen peroxide when left on wounds, this kills bacteria chemically. Unfortunately, honey does not work well internally. Antibiotics are derived from naturally created substances from other microbes, aka bacteria. This is also a naturally derived chemical weapon created by one bacteria that is hostile to another. It is entirely natural and should be counted as a blessing. Pharma makes you believe that it has created something, however they have actually just harvested something from nature. Very few drugs are created entirely artificially. Almost all are synthesized, based upon naturally occurring compounds. It is part of the scam.
