woolyfrog:

How would the plants in a specific environment be impacted if there was a sudden drop in the amount of bacteria present in that area?

Shadow:

It's not your body getting immune, but the bacteria getting immune. This is through the overuse of antibiotics, essentially abusing them. It's why it is sometimes best to fight off a cold, so that your body learns how to fight it on it's own, without antibiotics. Also as a quick side note, antibiotics do not work on viruses.
