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?

Probably be a bit less convenient if the treatment lasts for 5-7 days or longer and having to get that person into a setting to make the injection daily, or twice daily. Doable but rather impractical for most people.

If there is a serious infection (like blood sepsis), then the patient will be hospitalized and IV antibiotics given.
