Why is it harmful for patients not to continue the whole course of antibiotic treatment?

If you stop taking your antibiotics before the full course of treatment is complete, you may kill only some of the bacteria that caused the infection. Worse yet, the remaining bacteria may have some resistance to the antibiotics.
It is also important to take antibiotics only when prescribed by a doctor, and in particular do not take antibiotics for a virus (such as the common cold or the flu). Antibiotics have no effect on viruses.
