Penicillium Molds and Gut Bacteria

[Guest guest]

While eating salad with blue cheese, I wondered whether my doing so was

harming my intestinal bacteria in any way, since blue cheese and other

related cheese contain molds of the genus Penicillium, which have

antibiotic properties.

Anyone ever read anything on this subject? I would imagine the effect

would be minor or perhaps intestinal bacteria are not affected at all.
