Stressed bacteria first try to repair damaged DNA {SOS response}. Then they derepress genes that make proteins that cause high mutation rates. Bacterial cells can attach RecA protein to single-stranded DNA, which splits LexA regulatory protein, which derepresses genes that cause DNA mutations, which alter drug targets.
