Antibiotics & Gut microbiota

Frequent antibiotic use significantly alters the developing gut microbiota by rapidly changing its composition.

Antibiotics alter the gut microbiome and thereby affect health. There are differences depending on the region: different baseline microbiome, different antibiotic resistance genes, different use of antibiotics, differences in diet. Most studies come from North America and Europe, which means limited knowledge. Especially in non-Western countries, including low-income countries, the use of antibiotics is increasing.
