They don't. They develop a resistance to it.

Just like people, each bacteria is slightly different even from bacteria of the same type. Some are slightly more resistant to a given drug than others. What happens is that when someone is given antibiotics and the drugs are not enough to kill all the bacteria only those that are most resistant to that drug remain. Even worse is when someone decides they feel better and stop taking their antibiotics.

Then the bacteria split and/or share their genes with other bacteria and as a result that resistance is passed on to future generations.
