Most people have at least some types of drug resistant bacteria in them, but are unharmed because their “good” bacteria severely limit the physical room for growth of the “bad” bacteria. However disease, radiation, poisons and toxins, and most definitely antibiotics can wipe out enough of the “good” bacteria so that the “bad”, antibiotic resistant bacteria can have a population explosion.

Antibiotics may be life savers but a lot of doctors prescribe antibiotics without giving this factor much thought or warning patients that a robust probiotic regime is essential when taking antibiotics due to massive proliferation of "bad" bacteria in the stomach and potentially in the blood supply. Of these, Candida Albicans is one of the most aggressive and difficult to displace.

Along with probiotics, the use of prebiotic nutrition and food rich in prebiotics (such as Jerusalem artichokes etc.) has deserved and recently received more attention. Prebiotic (nutrition) - Wikipedia

The direct way to deal with this is to reestablish the dominant “good” bacteria. ... In practical terms, the consumption of probiotics should be standard practice when antibiotics are used.

Amen! Thanks for a lot of good info.

I have to throw in a concern that the use of probiotics with antibiotics cannot be haphazard. In most cases used with a significant break between each other, but it is relatively such a new study that there is a dearth of research out there.

And because so many dangerous bacteria are developing resistance, from tuberculosis to gonorrhea, researchers are becoming increasingly desperate to create anything that can destroy them.

Hopefully there will be a lot more research soon.

That's a fungus, not a bacteria.
