How do antibiotic resistant bacteria come about?
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.

What would happen if you didn't finish a course of antibiotics?
If you stop taking your antibiotic before you complete the course any surviving bacteria developes an immunity to that antibiotic. You must then take a different, usually stronger antibiotic to kill the infection. Once that happens that particular antibiotic usually will not work for any bacterial infection you may get.

Where did staphyolococcus begin?
the shorter word or term for staphyolococcus is (mrsa) In the late fifties the antibiotic methicillin was introduced to combat the penicillin resistant strains of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Within a couple of years methicilin resistant strains had emerged just about everywhere methicillin was being used. The methicillin resistant varieties were possibly a direct response to methicillin (my favoured theory) or a chance hybridisation with a distantly related bacteria that already contained the methicillin resistant gene. Nobody knows for sure.
Why is irresponsible use of antibiotics could have serious long-term consequences?
Yes. The risk is in the creation resistant strains of the affected bacteria. If someone does not use the antibiotics apropriately the bacteria will develope immunity to the antibiotic. Then subsequent people infected with the strain will not be cured by the previous antibiotic. Eventually strains can evolve into one that is resistant to most antibiotic therapy, making treatment very difficult, more invasive, and more dangerous to the patient Didn't I say that in the answer you deleted???
