They have resistance to the antibiotic.
Bacteria are affected by antibiotics, that is the purpose of them.

No. It is not a bacteria and it is not affected by antibiotics.
If bacteria are susceptible to antibiotics, exposure to antibiotics will lead to the death or weakening of the bacteria.
Antibiotics only work on bacteria.
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.
Bacteria
The types of drugs that can kill bacteria are called 'antibiotics'.
Bacteria are treated with antibiotics and viruses are treated with antiviral medications.
