> One of the bright spots is that it seems hard for bacteria to evolve more than one resistance
Not sure where you got that impression. There are bacteria out there that are basically resistant to every antibiotic we have. The article even gave an example of a case where someone died because of this.
> There are modern techniques to avoid resistance issues.
Yes, true, and it is right that we should implement these techniques. However, until the whole world plays along there are going to be problems. If sub-clinical or too frequent doses of antibiotics are given somewhere in the world, then antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria will develop, and can be transmitted across borders.
