"Conclusion
Research into antibiotic resistance has revealed some good examples of mutations and natural selection that have helped the bacteria adapt to surviving antibiotics. However, none of the discoveries support the notion that accidental changes to existing genes/DNA (mutations) could generate the many thousands of new genes and gene networks needed to transform microbes into mankind, mangoes, and minke whales. Indeed, the changes studied underline just how limited mutations are in terms of 'upward' evolution."
