I vomited both my Clarithromycin and Minocycline antibiotic within 5-15 minutes of taking them yesterday. I am wondering if this will cause bacteria to become resistant?

According to this post, missing dose of antibiotics causes bacteria resistance:

I wouldn't worry about it...as many LLMD's have pulsing antibiotics as part of their protocol...in fact I'm thinking of a pulsed schedule for my Rifampin and Mino for Bartonella.
So taking a day off because you couldn't keep them down...is like pulsing.

The replication cycle of the lyme bacteria is very slow - as compared to other bacteria. I think that is why resistance doesn't occur as easily? And..being on more than one antibiotic at a time is to help prevent resistance.

My concern is bart and babs - are they also slow replicating?

Girlie, Buhner said to take cryptolepis for babs for one month after the life of a red blood cell (which is about 3-4 months) - so about 5 altogether. Does that help?

But when I researched the life span of a red blood cell I found everything from 5 to 200 days. I think the average is 115 days. Guess because we are all different....
