That’s because antibiotics carpet bomb everything. If they didn’t they’d be pretty pointless. Hell, part of the reason antibiotics are losing efficiency is because either due to poor use or over use - there are survivors after they are deployed.

That’s what causes problems.
Take out exactly 50% of every type of bacteria in your gut? Almost like nothing happened.
