If food poisoning is caused by bacteria in food why is the patient not treated with antibiotics?

Depending upon the type of bacteria, the severity of the symptoms and the patient's susceptibility, antibiotics might indeed be used. See Related Links. But that is generally the exception and not the rule. Most healthy people can fight off a bout of food poisoning successfully if hydration is maintained. Adding antibiotics to the mix - especially if the causative organism is unknown - could make things worse by killing off the body's beneficial flora. Another reason for not using antibiotics could be that the illness is an intoxication rather than an infection. Antibiotics won't inactivate toxins left behind by bacteria.
