Antibiotics, especially the broad-spectrum ones, can wipe out a large portion of the gut bacteria. This disruption, known as dysbiosis, can have severe and long-lasting effects. Even a single course of antibiotics can produce dysbiosis that lasts for months or even years

A good article. Nice to see a major news outlet covering collateral damage instead of resistance. It's rare.
