Antibacterial agents

Patent Granted Antibacterials are used to treat bacterial infections. The toxicity to humans and other animals from antibacterials is generally considered low. However, prolonged use of certain antibacterials can decrease the number of gut flora, which may have a negative impact on health. Some[who?] recommend that during or after prolonged antibacterial use one should consume probiotics and eat reasonably to replace destroyed gut flora. Recent research[which?] indicates that stool transplants may help patients who are having difficulty recovering from prolonged antibiotic treatment.
