Which outcome results when antibiotics disrupt gut bacteriophages (viruses)?

💡 Explanation

Disrupted gut bacteriophages increase bacteria because phage-mediated killing decreases, therefore bacterial load increases. This occurs because the lytic cycle stops, increasing bacterial survival, rather than maintaining populations regardless.
