Antibiotic exposures early in life disrupt the maturation of the gut microbiota and adversely affect children's health. In addition, antibiotics increase the frequency of resistant bacteria and accumulate the resistome - the compendium of antibiotic resistance genes - within the gut microbiota.
Individuals exposed to antibiotics in early life may develop colorectal adenoma at an older age
