One of the proofs supporting evolution is antibiotic resistance... the bacteria are getting better, becoming stronger, right? No. What has happened is that mutations have caused the bacteria to loose functions. The bacteria no longer produces the protein that binds to the antibiotic. Or it loses the ability to transport certain proteins into the cell.

The bacteria has lost an ability and is actually weaker. It has traded a short term benefit, for a long-term weakness.
