Discussion of treatments for Bacterial diseases:
The last century saw an explosion in
our knowledge about how microbes work and in our methods of treating
infectious diseases. For example, the discovery of antibiotics to treat
and cure many bacterial diseases was a major breakthrough in medical
history.
Doctors, however, sometimes prescribe antibiotics unnecessarily for a
variety of reasons, including pressure from patients with viral
infections. Patients may insist on being prescribed an antibiotic without
knowing that it won't work on viruses. Colds and flu are two notable viral
infections for which some doctors send their patients to the drugstore
with a prescription for an antibiotic.
Because antibiotics have been overprescribed or inappropriately
prescribed over the years, bacteria have become resistant to the killing
effects of these drugs. This resistance, called antimicrobial or drug
resistance, has become a very serious problem, especially in hospital
settings.
Bacteria that are not killed by the antibiotic become strong enough to
resist the same medicine the next time it's given. Because bacteria
multiply so rapidly, changed or mutated bacteria that resist antibiotics
will quickly outnumber those that can be destroyed by those same drugs. (Source: excerpt from Microbes in Sickness and in Health - Publications, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases: NIAID)

Campylobacteriosis:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Campylobacteriosis typically resolves on its own and isn’t usually treated with antibiotics unless severe signs and symptoms are present. If severe symptoms are present, antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin and azithromycin may be ordered. Fluid and electrolyte imbalances are corrected with increased fluid intake or I.V. fluid replacement, as indicated.

E.coli and other Enterobacteriaceae infections:
Treatment
(Handbook of Diseases)
Effective treatment consists of isolation and correction of fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Antibiotics haven’t been shown to improve the course of the disease and may precipitate kidney complications. For cramping and diarrhea, bismuth subsalicylate may be given; antidiarrheals, such as loperamide, should be avoided.
