In order to protect against bacterial endocarditis, in those who are susceptible, a course of antibiotics is usually necessary prior to having dental work done - for instance (Prophylaxis means to prevent.)
Prophylaxis means prevention . . . I do not believe any dentist or doctor in their right minds would prescribe an antibiotic to protect your teeth against a potential future infection.

Prophylax is not in the dictionary. Prophylaxis is, so here is a sentence using prophylaxis. All the patients received an antibiotic prophylaxis.

No, the correct word is prophylaxis
Prophylaxis for what? For something to be prophylactic, it has to prevent something before it happens....... Could be pain, pregnancy, infection, etc.
The word prophylaxis means treatment given or action taken to prevent disease. The antonym would be a word that means treatment given or action taken to cause disease - in other words, deliberately infecting the victim with a disease. Vaccination is a way of deliberately infecting someone with a disease so that their immune system then gears up to prevent later infection by a stronger form of the same disease, or of a related disease. So I guess in a sense, vaccination is an antonym for prophylaxis. Another antonym would be terrorism (deliberately sending anthrax through the mail) or biological warfare.
