Because bacteria would need to implement defenses to both attacks simultaneously, the researchers calculated that drug resistance is nearly impossible.
I'm no expert by any means, but I do know that several genetic failsafes have to be overcome simultaneously for you to develop cancer, so I don't see why it would be nearly impossible for bacteria to overcome only two things at once.

Tuberculosis is treated by a combination of drugs for the same reason and yet the bacteria still develops resistance.
Nearly does a lot of work in that headline.
