Does stomach bacteria ever fully recover from the use of antibiotics?

 What are the consequences of taking antibiotics on your gut microbiome? Does the gut ever fully recover?

Most gut bacteria recover quickly, but there can be long-lasting consequences from taking antibiotics. The changes, however, are not necessarily harmful.

The gut microbiome, the roughly 10 trillion to 100 trillion bacteria and other microorganisms that live in the digestive tract, contributes to health by synthesising vitamins, metabolising drugs and fighting pathogens. Anything that disrupts

Data from a 2016 study suggest that exposure to antibiotics in
