Antibiotic resistance leading to “superbugs” poses a severe threat to health. Research shows that some common probiotic bacteria used commercially could be resistant to several antibiotics. Bacteria can transfer genetic material to other bacteria. There is a chance these probiotic bacteria can transfer antibiotic resistance to hostile bacteria in the gut, causing a serious safety concern.
