If food poisoning is caused by bacteria in food why is the patient not treated with antibiotics?

Depending upon the type of bacteria, the severity of the symptoms and the patient's susceptibility, antibiotics might indeed be used. See Related Links. But that is generally the exception and not the rule. Most healthy people can fight off a bout of food poisoning successfully if hydration is maintained. Adding antibiotics to the mix - especially if the causative organism is unknown - could make things worse by killing off the body's beneficial flora. Another reason for not using antibiotics could be that the illness is an intoxication rather than an infection. Antibiotics won't inactivate toxins left behind by bacteria.

If you are taking antibiotics and skipped a day will the antibiotics work?

I would suggest that your contact the physician who prescribed you the antibiotics. Antibiotics are prescribed for many conditions and they always must be finished unless otherwise directed by your doctor. People generally feel better within days and think they can stop their antibiotics. Infections can return if you do not finish the prescribed course. Bacteria can develop a tolerance to our antibiotics due to many people not finishing the job. Ask a doctor if taking a probiotic during or after a treatment is okay to get help with digestion during a treatment and restore beneficial bacteria needed in the body.
