Other than a couple of bites of yogurt daily what can I eat to replace the good bacteria. I’m on a 3 daily push of antis for sepsis and MRSA. Hip recall/hip revision. Sux.

Good luck. Ask your doc. Get a dietary consult if possible. Read the labels. Lactobacillus species appear to predominate.

In microbiology, colony-forming unit (CFU) is an estimate of viable bacterial or fungal numbers. Unlike direct microscopic counts where all cells, dead and living, are counted, CFU estimates viable cells. The appearance of a visible colony requires significant growth of the initial cells plated - at the time of counting the colonies it is not possible to determine if the colony arose from one cell or 1,000 cells. Therefore, the results are given as CFU/mL (colony-forming units per milliliter) for liquids, and CFU/g (colony-forming units per gram) for solids to reflect this uncertainty (rather than cells/mL or cells/g).
