I do like the idea though, it can be a strenuous task filling capsules one at a time for a months worth of supplements. I would recommend The Capsule Machine (http://www.amazon.com/The-Capsule-Machine-00-Kit/dp/B006OQ43...) for anyone who would like to do it themselves more efficiently.
Here are a few good links to read up on: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/04/110419214734.ht... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut_flora#Effects_of_antibiotic... http://www.naturalnews.com/042769_antibiotics_healthy_gut_fl...
The way I see it, both methods (using detergents or probiotics) are achieving the same effect: a decrease in harmful bacteria. The only difference is when probiotics are used, there is a lessened chance of a harmful microbe overgrowth.
When you take antibiotics it kills bacteria nonselectively, good and bad. This can lead to an overgrowth of harmful bacteria when you stop taking the antibiotics. Also good luck when the strain of bacteria you're fighting become resistant to the antibiotic you're taking... Maybe then you'll reconsider microbiomics.
