Antibiotics taken orally will kill the body's beneficial bacteria, including Lactobacillus acidophilus. After taking antibiotics, patients are often instructed to take an L. acidophilus treatment in order to recolonize the gastrointestinal tract. To that effect, L. acidophilus is often sold in health stores in pill or powder form as a nutritional supplement, and is also commonly added to yogurts and kefir drinks for intestinal health. The "victims" of L. acidophilus would be bad bacteria and the type of yeasts that cause yeast infections.
