If a bacterial isolate show intermediate to moderate resistance to an antimicrobial, how might this drug still be successfully used in the treatment of this microbe

Due to its effectiveness.

All the microbes did not got resistance against the antimicrobial chemical and they are not full proof from the antibiotics so that's why the antimicrobial are used in the treatment of microbes. If all the microbes attain resistance against antimicrobial drug so it can't any affect on the microbes.
