Yes they do. That is why the use of them should be very judicious, and all possibilities considered before they are prescribed. Only a doctor has the experience and knowledge to fully do that. And that is why all antibiotics are (wisely) prescription only.

How antibiotics predispose animal for disease?
Antibiotics not only kill bad bacteria, they kill good bacteria, antibotics cannot know the difference, killing the good bacteria hurts the immune system.
What is the correlation between antibiotic use and thrush?
Antibiotics kill the bad bacteria which make us sick, but they also kill the good bacteria that our bodies need. The good bacteria actually help keep the "bugs" at bay, so when we take antibiotics and they kill all the bacteria (good and bad) we are then more susceptible to other problems, such as thrush. This can usually be avoided by taking pro biotics (cultured yogurt) or acidophylus tablets which replace the good bacteria in our bodies. You can take them while taking antibiotics, but can also take them full time, even when not taking antibiotics.

What are antibiotics and what are they used for?

Why good bacteria are important for your body?
Certain bacteria (the good bacteria) helps the body's immune system by fighting off the bad bacteria, and plays a major role in the digestive tract. That's one reason some people get diarrhea when taking antibiotics. The antibiotics kill the bad bacteria, but they also kill the good bacteria, as well. So for that reason, it's always a good idea to eat foods with active cultures, such as yogurt or buttermilk when taking antibiotics, because they replace the good bacteria back in the body. Actually, it's a good idea to eat foods with active cultures even when you're not taking antibiotics, because they will help your body's natural defenses against the bad bacteria.

Can you take probiotics with antibiotics?
No; in fact, as may be inferred from the prefixes, they are opposites. Antibiotics are chemical compounds that are used to kill microorganisms, whereas probiotics are "friendly" microorganisms introduced into the body to out-compete "bad" microorganisms. They are typically given in concert with antibiotics to prevent the body's healthy complement of gut flora (the bacteria and other microbes in your digestive tract) from being eradicated by the antibiotics, which were administered to kill off some harmful beasties but can also kill the ones that belong in your body. No. Antibotics are medications that kill bacteria. probiotics ar the GOOD bacteria that you want in your (mostly intestinal) system.

How do antibiotics prevent bacteria and viruses?
There are several different mechanisms by which antibiotics kill or prevent the proliferation of bacteria.For instance, penicillins and cephalosporins bind to specific sites in the bacterial cell wall and prevent the bacterium from making new cell wall, so the wall they have breaks down and the cell dies.Others, like aminoglycosides, prevent the production of proteins in bacteria, so they cannot reproduce or grow.Some, like fluoroquinolones bind to a protein that prevents the bacterium from being able to duplicate its DNA.For as many different antibiotics, there are different mechanisms of action. Some kill the bacteria directly, and are called bactericidal and others prevent the bacteria from spreading and are called bacteriostatic. Bacteriostatic antibiotics slow the growth of the bacteria and allow the immune system to kill it off.
How does bacteria keep the world free from waste?
