The relationship between gut bacteria and humans is a mutualistic symbiosis, where beneficial bacteria help maintain gut health by preventing harmful bacteria from proliferating, while they obtain sustenance from our diet. Taking too many antibiotics without medical guidance can disrupt this balance, leading to a decrease in beneficial bacteria, potential overgrowth of harmful pathogens, and digestive issues like diarrhea or antibiotic-resistant infections.
There are good bacteria that live in our gut. They benefit from us because they feed on what we eat, and we benefit from them because they keep harmful bacteria away. In one or two sentences, define this relationship and describe what could happen if we took too many bacteria-killing antibiotics without the advice of a physician.(2 points) short answer
