Antibiotics can turn your gut into a breeding ground for drug-resistant superbugs
Broad-spectrum antibiotics, for example, attack any kind of bacteria that it comes across, including those that are good for your gut microbiome.
"Biocides, which include disinfectants and antiseptics, are chemicals that are widely used in households, hospitals and manufacturing to kill disease-causing microorganisms such as bacteria.
However, there are rising concerns that their widespread use may be spurring antibiotic resistance by pressuring bacteria to evolve in ways that make them less vulnerable to the drugs."

Cleaning product residues may be driving a deadly superbug's antibiotic resistance
When exposed to low levels of disinfectants and antiseptics in the lab, a bacterium that sickens thousands in the U.S. every year becomes more tolerant to antibiotics.
