Is it true that treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon, leading to the overgrowth of Clostridium difficile?

Yes. Antibacterial treatments alter the normal flora of the colon and disrupt colonization resistance, which frequently results in the overgrowth and pathogenesis of Clostridium difficile.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the well-established medical consensus that antibiotic administration causes gut dysbiosis, which subsequently predisposes patients to Clostridium difficile overgrowth and infection.
