This term is misleading. The antibiotic "selects" bacteria that are not affected by it. If a person will grow bacteria on a petri dish and add an antibiotic to it, some bacteria may live and grow. This is actually a form of natural selection. The ones that will grow are resistance to the antibiotic. They have some way of not being affected. If a person takes a colony from the plate that has this resistance and grows it on another plate and add the antibiotic, all on the plate will be resistant.
Antibiotic resistance is a type of drug resistance where a microorganism is able to survive exposure to an antibiotic.
The trait giving bacteria antibiotic resistance has become common, giving bacteria with the trait a selective advantage.
Unfortunately, in recent years, the treatment of endocarditis has become more complicated as a result of antibiotic resistance
genetic changes in plants, antibiotic resistance in bacteria, and pesticide resistance in insects.
They have resistance to the antibiotic.
If antibiotic resistance is added to the gene being cloned, antibiotics can be used to isolate the transformed bacteria (ones with the gene being cloned) by killing off all non-transformed bacteria, that don't have the antibiotic resistance. There is a chance that the non-transformed bacteria can mutate to develop antibiotic resistance.
