Is hand sanitizer good for you if you use it too much??

Someone told me that if you use hand sanitizer too much, bacteria on your hands develop resistance and become "super bacteria." Is that a myth? I use hand sanitizer about 5 times a day, I would say, and would that be enough to be detrimental?
