A)disrupts the native gut microbiome.
B)allows opportunistic bacteria, such as Clostridium difficile, to multiply.
C)prevents other species of pathogenic bacteria from colonizing.
D)decreases the reproduction of some viruses.
E)A and B

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic use disrupts the native gut microbiome, which can allow opportunistic bacteria like Clostridium difficile to multiply. This can lead to infections and other complications. Preventing colonization by other species of pathogenic bacteria is not a direct result of antibiotic use, and antibiotics do not decrease the reproduction of viruses.
