I've only read a couple of articles, but it appears it depends on the antibiotic; NAC can help some antibiotics and hinder others.
I also came across this interesting one about antibiotics damaging mitochondria.

For the average person who might be prescribed a short course of antibiotics, DePinho reckoned there would probably be nothing to worry about. “We have very robust DNA damage repair mechanisms that in the short term may attenuate any clinical impact,” he said.
