Vitamin K is primarily synthesized by bacteria in the large intestine of humans. Some vitamin K can also be obtained through dietary sources such as green leafy vegetables, liver, and certain oils.

How do antibiotics affect blood clotting?

In order for certain clotting factors( factors 2,7,9,and 10) to be synthesized in the liver Vit K must be present. Synthesized with the aide of our normal flora in our intestines, vit K synthesis can be compromised with the introduction of antibiotics that are generally non-discriminative towards bacteria in your body, killing both "good" and "bad" bacteria. Thus without vit k synthesis, necessary clotting factors are not synthesized either and can lead to the inability of your blood to clot as it normally would.
