CS kills virtually all bacteria it comes into contact with.  CS does not
affect any bacterea in a healthy gut due to being absorbed into the
blood stream in the stomach and being immobalized by the stool.  It will
kill any bacteria in the gut when taken in large amounts, and if the gut
is full of liquids so it can have mobility.
