 * Resistance to antibiotics is increased though the survival of individuals that are immune to the effects of the antibiotic, whose offspring then inherit the resistance, creating a new population of resistant bacteria.

NOTES: This confuses cause with effect. Obviously those bacteria that are immune will have offspring that survive - this the effect. The actual cause must be derived elsewhere. Thus the reason for having resistance could be for various reasons:
 * The bacteria already possessed the attributes for resistance and it got expressed when confronted with the antibiotic.
 * The antibiotic didn't cause increase in information, only the expression of existing attributes. Bacteria are not adapted to anything, they only express their attributes.
