This is the first study that shows antibiotics [are] independent of changing the biome and microbiome of the gut by changing the cells of the gut independent of bacteria, which is [a] completely ...
A prominent example of the gut–memory connection is the effects that alterations in the gut microbiome can have on the pathogenesis of neural diseases like Alzheimer's. [ 3 ] Understanding the connections between the gut microbiome and cognitive health could aid researchers in developing novel strategies for slowing down cognitive decline in ...
A team based in Italy conducted a pilot trial in which they sequenced the gut microbiome of patients with IBS and used an individualized combination of antibiotics, prebiotics, and probiotics to ...
Colonization resistance is the mechanism whereby the microbiome protects itself against incursion by new and often harmful microorganisms. [1] [2] [3]Colonization resistance was first identified in 1967, and it was initially referred to as antibiotic-associated susceptibility.
The composition of the gut microbiome also changes in severe illnesses, due not only to antibiotic use but also to such factors as ischemia of the gut, failure to eat, and immune compromise. Negative effects from this have led to interest in selective digestive tract decontamination , a treatment to kill only pathogenic bacteria and allow the ...
“Research has shown that with antibiotics, there's a compromise: the antibiotic slows the recovery of your gut. It basically makes it hard for your gut to bounce back. What we want is a gut that ...
Narrow-spectrum antibiotics have low propensity to induce bacterial resistance and are less likely to disrupt the microbiome (normal microflora). [3] On the other hand, indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics may not only induce the development of bacterial resistance and promote the emergency of multidrug-resistant organisms, but also cause off-target effects due to dysbiosis.
Your gut is endangered. And that’s not a good thing for your health—or the health of the rest of the world.
