I don't think this result reflects all antibiotic treatments:

"RESULTS Oral antibiotic treatment disrupts the colonic mucus barrier"

Intraveinous administration may or may not cause the same effect, or a similar effect. Maybe oral antibiotics is generally a bad idea because it disrupts the microbiome, but in other forms it's generally fine.
