Today, you have learned some basic general information about bacteria that cause infections and bacteria that protect
and benefit us, living inside and on the surface of our bodies. So, here is a question for you to apply the knowledge you
gained today:
Ms. AB was traveling and caught a nasty flu on the plane. But because she had work and school she could not take any
time off to rest during her flu. 2 weeks after she contracted the flu, she no longer had the fever and sore throat, but her
nose was still stuffy, and she was suffering from sinus headaches. She went to her doctor, who diagnosed her with a
sinus infection and prescribed her a course of antibiotics. Ms. ABC took the 7 days of antibiotic therapy, but she is now
back at her doctor's office with a yeast infection and diarrhea. Explain, why Ms. ABC developed the sinus infection. Then
explain why she developed a yeast infection and diarrhea after the course of antibiotics
