Does evolution work faster for beings with a shorter lifespan since their genes get passed on faster?

Yes! And this is why you can get things like drug resistant bacteria if you aren't careful. Bacteria have such rapid life cycles and such huge populations that the single bacteria that mutated a viable resistance could reproduce to replace that entire drug-killed population.

Side note: always finish your courses of antibiotics completely, and never ever take antibiotics unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
