No expert, but theoretically new mutations that eliminate resistance may be beneficial by allowing the newly mutated bacteria to outgrow the resistant ones if the mutation leads to spending less energy.
Edit: there will also be non-resistant bacteria in the population so the mutation to remove resistance may not even be necessary.
