Talked juat before the pandemic with a microbiologist at a university when we were both at a bar and caaually he mentioned he specializes in gut microbiome. Hewas saying how they weere finally cracking open just how important the ecosystem in our gut is for things beyond just digestion. He brought up how our immune system was very much dependant on how healthy the balance of the ecosystem in our gut is just like this article. One of the things he specifically was worried about was how our approach to oral antibiotics was such a blunt way of fighting bacterial infection because of how much is throws the ecosystem in our gut off. He called it like nuking your gut bacteria when we need to find antibiotics or other methods that target specific bacteria to not throw off the balance in the gut because we still didnt know the ramifications of seriously throwing off the balance of the gut ecosystem on the long term health of our bodies, for short term benefits. He mainly was talking about antibiotics that really are not necessary to fight serious or fatal infections mainly because he felt we are to trigger happy to throw antibiotics at any infection even if it thw body can manage it just fine on its own.
