Could the reference " ... do not cause short term or long term harm, under most
circumstances. ..." refer to harm to the organism as apposed to harm to the bicrobiota? Antibiotics can help a host organism while still being detrimental to microbiota found within the host organsim.
Of course. I am mainly concerned about the host, whether it is my bees, myself or my family. Some microbes are essential, some are value neutral, some make you sick and you die. I love nature as much as anyone, but my sympathy does not extend to pathogens.
