The way that bacteria share genes are through plasmids, so they can actually what we call translocate their own DNA and say, hey, I've got this gene. You may want this gene. And they literally hand it to the other bacteria that incorporates it into their genome. That could be a good example of how bacteria become resistant to antibiotics.
