Sally has been taking antibiotics for several weeks to help her fight an infection. Antibiotics are known to disrupt the gut flora since they work by killing bacteria. How would Sally's digestive function most likely be affected by the antibiotics?

Answer:

It actually depends on its usage

Explanation:

Antibiotics can have side effects including allergic reactions and serious, possibly life-threatening diarrhea caused by the bacteria (germ) Clostridium difficile (C. diff). Antibiotics may also interfere with other drugs you may be taking. Only use it if it is Doctor's prescribed...And yes, if this will not be taken responsibly- it will dramatically change the amount and type of bacteria in the gut. These changes in the gut microflora can lead antibiotic-associated diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal side effects. (Always eat something before you drink antibiotics)
