Probiotics

'Good' bacteria could save patients from infection infection by deadlier ones

I've been onto this for a while, I hate the fact that doctors seem to prescribe anti-biotics at the drop of a hat, whether they are really needed or not. All this does is create strains of bacteria that are resistant to the drug over time. That and people that don't complete the prescription, so they don't kill off all the bacteria, selecting for those that are resistant.
