Antibiotics and Probiotics

One of the most significant discoveries of the last century was antibiotics, but presently they hardly can be named that way. Bacteria have elaborated the immunity to many antibiotics; therefore the treatment with antibiotics does not take the proper effect. Bacteria have become much more stable to the influence of various antibiotics, and scientists are forced to invent new antibiotics. Due to resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, heart attack and cancer are not to rare diseases.

The solution of this problem is transition from antibiotics to probiotics, being useful bacteria which struggle with the pathogenic flora in the body. They improve protective properties of the body and harmonize the micro flora of intestines and the whole gastrointestinal tract. The body with a good immune system independently resists to various diseases.

Probiotics do not have any side effects comparing to antibiotics. For example, at prescribing antibiotics to pregnant women, there is a risk of occurring various pathologies in babies. Therefore, we can observe the transition to probiotics which possess the same properties as antibiotics do, but they do not cause any pathology. Besides, antibiotics kill all microbes in the body both good and bad which leads to dysbacteriosis. Probiotics do not cause such an effect struggling exclusively with harmful bacteria. Thus, good bacteria, or probiotics fight bad bacteria causing various diseases.

Avelox (Moxifloxacin) is an enhanced formulation of the antibiotic called a fluoroquinolone that acts by killing bacteria in the body and stopping the output of all-important proteins required by the bacteria to live.
