antibiotics history, linked?

anyone had or know anyone who's had a history of long-term antibiotic use? i wonder if that has been a factor for my Mum who had maybe nearly a year of antibiotics when she was around 20 y.o; tablets and injections.

i'm a fan of antibiotics but in small doses.

edit: i should've said: i wonder if mum's history of needing heavy antibiotics was a factor / cause towards osteoporosis
