Why isn’t more antibiotics injected rather than oral?

Won’t antibiotics do less harm to our beneficial gut bacteria if it is injected directly into the body rather than go through our digestive tract?

injections are invasive, that is, they break through the body’s outer defense, so they’re high risk. (yeah, maybe it’s just a tiny little hole but it’s *deep*)

injections are higher risk when not done properly. [here are some NSFL pics](https://www.google.com/search?q=infected+injection+sites&newwindow=1&sxsrf=APq-WBt5vUBqFfEnVTuM0YA2ed-olrKJLg:1650377759643&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi8ge-gqKD3AhXmDkQIHX-EDwcQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1745&bih=886&dpr=1.1) of injections gone wrong

dirty needles etc
