In my life, I have taken plenty of antibiotics to combat bacterial growth. In my personal opinion, I believe that having antibiotics is necessary for combating that bacterium that the body simply does not need. For example, the last time I needed an antibiotic was when I got a sore throat around two years ago. During these times, I only knew that taking antibiotics helped combat the sore throat and that was how I thought about everything that resulted in me needing antibiotics. Knowing what I know now about antibiotics, I know not to rely solely on antibiotics as many bacteria do create bacterial resistance against them. If it was not necessary then I would not take the antibiotic prescribed as it may make the bacteria already living in my body to be more resistant to the future antibiotics.
