Well, I suppose that bacteria who are resistant to “drug” persist and produce offspring who are equally resistant to “drug.”

And therefore, over time, one particular allele is selected for and is then expressed across the population.

Which is evolution.

If there were no bacteria who were resistant at the time “drug” was initially introduced would all die and leave no future generations.

But given the rate of mutation in bacteria, for any given drug that’s wildly improbable with any significant population of bacteria. Or are you denying that mutation occurs?

Because as it stands, you’ve just stated you accept evolution.
