Our body has cells called white blood cells that attack and destroy the bacteria. There are B cells which produce antibodys, which marks the harmful bacteria for the white blood cell. There are also many types of antibiotics which help, for example, penicillin. Penicillin enters the cell and prevents it from forming a cell wall, causing it to burst.

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.
