People need to take the antibiotics that are given to them. This is how this shit starts. You don't take your full antibiotic regimen and your natural killer cells along with your T cells get tricked, thus, creating a super bug. It's a very basic microbiology principle.

The good thing is that it's difficult for bacteria and viruses to spread. You need a host - transmission - host.

That's not how it works at all. Individual bacterial cells have different susceptibility to an antibiotic depending on their genetic makeup. When you start an antibiotic regimen, the most susceptible bacterial cells die off first, alleviating symptoms long before the minority of hardier cells are killed. If you stop treatment those hardier bacteria then have the chance to multiply and as a result you are left with a population of bacteria that are less affected by antibiotics. Eventually, they can mutate further and develop bona fide antibiotic resistance.

It has nothing to do with "tricking" your immune system. Also, your last 2 sentences have absolutely no meaning. Sorry for being pedantic
