    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 ...

  3. Antimicrobial spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_spectrum

    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.

  4. Antibiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiosis

    The study of antibiosis and its role in antibiotics has led to the expansion of knowledge in the field of microbiology. Molecular processes such cell wall synthesis and recycling, for example, have become better understood through the study of how antibiotics affect beta-lactam development through the antibiosis relationship and interaction of the particular drugs with the bacteria subjected ...

  5. Gut microbiota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut_microbiota

    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 ...

  6. Pathogenic bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogenic_bacteria

    For example, the antibiotics chloramphenicol and tetracyclin inhibit the bacterial ribosome but not the structurally different eukaryotic ribosome, so they exhibit selective toxicity. [28] Antibiotics are used both in treating human disease and in intensive farming to promote animal growth.

  7. Microbiota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiota

    The human microbiome may play a role in the activation of toll-like receptors in the intestines, a type of pattern recognition receptor host cells use to recognize dangers and repair damage. Pathogens can influence this coexistence leading to immune dysregulation including and susceptibility to diseases, mechanisms of inflammation , immune ...

  8. Dysbiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysbiosis

    The gut microbiome is altered from antibiotics and is linked to future gut disease, i.e., IBD, ulcerative colitis, obesity, etc. The intestinal immune system is directly influenced by the gut microbiome and can be hard to recover if damaged through antibiotics. [32] The use of minocycline in acne vulgaris has been associated with skin and gut ...

  9. Microbiological culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiological_culture

    A microbiological culture, or microbial culture, is a method of multiplying microbial organisms by letting them reproduce in predetermined culture medium under controlled laboratory conditions. Microbial cultures are foundational and basic diagnostic methods used as research tools in molecular biology.
