TOXICITY OF ANTIBIOTICS ON PROBIOTIC BACTERIA

Abstract

Probiotic bacteria are living microorganisms that impart beneficial and defensive health effects found in the intestinal microbiota. In some nations and as practical health goods, the use of probiotics to deter infections is currently gathering traction. In the other hand, antibiotics are drugs used medically to protect off bacteria or microorganisms that are pathogenic. Their antimicrobial behaviors, however, impact not just the intended pathogen, but also the host's endogenous microbiota, thus altering the microbial and chemical makeup of the human body. The effect of antibiotics on probiotics, the relationship and the interaction between them are explored in this study antibiotics and probiotics.
