> 1) Resistance is inevitable. It doesn't matter if everyone finishes their prescribed treatment or not, bacteria will develop resistance to antibiotics one way or another. Not wrong, but it paints a pretty black and white picture of something that has a lot of shades of gray. The way we use antibiotics strongly influences how quick antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve. With very good usage discipline you could even try to kill all resistant bacteria by use of different antibiotics before the bacteria become multi-resistant.
