This is a perfect example of an adaptation. But the bacteria were still the same species after aquiring a resistance to your antibiotic. There are plenty of examples of isolated populations of animals adapting to a change in their environment (a classic is the white moths that changed to be mottled gray during the industrial revolution). I am not aware of any cases of plants or animals actually evolving into a new species. And this doesn't prove or disprove anything.
What was the point of this discussion again?
