Well, it varies on alot of things, mainly on the type of bacteria.

Maybe another way to word the above Q is: How many generations does it take for a bacterial strain to gain antibiotics resistance?

We'd need to find the relationship between mutation rate vs. the number of generations (I'd assume it's linear). I'm not particularly sure of this statistic
