Bacterial infection: If an antibiotic which inhibits ribosomes only is partially effective, and bacteria remain alive, the remaining surviving bacteria (those who were resistant to the antibiotic) will replicate and can result in a large population of bacteria who now are resistant to that antibiotic.
