If a person takes an antibiotic from strep throat how might E.coli be affected?

Answer 1

E. coli would probably be reduced significantly. But no promises. Bacteria are getting stronger and more resistant to antibiotics all the time. I would be more worried about candida albicans overgrowth after taking a course of antibiotics. It's pretty nasty stuff and taking antibiotics encourages it's growth by removing the helpful bacteria that normally keeps it in check.

Answer 2

Treat strep throat usually use penicillin.Penicillin is effective to gram positive bacterial and E.coli is belong to gram negative group that means not direct affected to E.coli.For indirect action(disturb the balance of the colony),If use only for 10 to 14 days it will not happen frequcly.

Answer 3

if you take a broad spectrum antibiotic which works for both gram positive bacteria (Strep. pyogenes) and gram negative bacteria (E. coli), you would clear the strep infection, but also reduce the normal flora (E. coli) in your gut, which could possibly result in diarrhea. If it worked well enough, most of your other normal flora would die off, also resulting in a yeast infection. Yeast is an opportunistic infection in this case.
