Semantics.
Adaptation to survive over generations like the mentioned bacteria is sensibly evolution.
A person building a house to survive from the elements and security is adapting, would you agree? Same as early man creating and using hand tool.
A bacterial strain altering its genetic make over a number of generations to survive a threat like antibiotics is evolution.
