Antibiotics When Appropriate
for Food Poisoning
Prescription antibiotics for bacterial food poisoning (Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria) in severe cases or high-risk individuals.
How it works
Antibiotics kill bacterial pathogens responsible for food poisoning, shortening illness duration in severe or high-risk cases.
What to watch for
Requires prescription. Not all bacterial food poisoning requires antibiotics. Most cases resolve without them. Antibiotic choice depends on the organism.
