My background is in biotech - so I've done a lot of microbiology work. While I appreciate what this video is trying to do, it's grossly misleading. Antibiotic resistant bacteria aren't bacteria that somehow became stronger - in fact ab resistant mutants are overall less fit than their wild-type counterparts. One of the primary mechanisms for this (as was poorly represented in the video) is the loss of proper function in a bacterial enzyme attacked by the antibiotic.

Because the bacteria loose the ability to make a functional enzyme, the prodrug becomes harmless.

Antibiotic resistance is a real problem, don't get me wrong, but it's important that people understand properly what is happening so that we can solve this real-world threat.

How will a resistant bacteria have a selective disadvantage when the antibiotic is not being used?

The true tragedy of the advent of antibiotic resistant bacteria is that the poor fungi that produce these antibiotics are no longer protected.
