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.

This relationship is a mutualistic symbiosis, where beneficial gut bacteria aid our digestion and immune defense while relying on our nutrients for survival. Taking too many bacteria-killing antibiotics without physician guidance can disrupt this balance, potentially leading to overgrowth of harmful bacteria, digestive issues, and a weakened immune system.
