  2. 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.

    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 ...

  4. Skin flora - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_flora

    Washing skin repeatedly can damage the protective external layer and cause transepidermal loss of water. This can be seen in roughness characterized by scaling and dryness, itchiness, dermatitis provoked by microorganisms and allergens penetrating the corneal layer and redness.

  5. Antibiotic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic

    An antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial substance active against bacteria.It is the most important type of antibacterial agent for fighting bacterial infections, and antibiotic medications are widely used in the treatment and prevention of such infections.

  6. Gut–brain axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut–brain_axis

    Antibiotics have severe impacts on gut microbiota, ridding of both good and bad bacteria. Without proper rehabilitation, it can be easy for harmful bacteria to become dominant. Probiotics may help to mitigate this by supplying healthy bacteria into the gut and replenishing the richness and diversity of the gut microbiota.

  7. Microbiota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiota

    The microbiome and host emerged during evolution as a synergistic unit from epigenetics and genetic characteristics, sometimes collectively referred to as a holobiont. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] The presence of microbiota in human and other metazoan guts has been critical for understanding the co-evolution between metazoans and bacteria.

  8. Gut microbiota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut_microbiota

    Gut microbiota, gut microbiome, or gut flora are the microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses, that live in the digestive tracts of animals. [1] [2] The gastrointestinal metagenome is the aggregate of all the genomes of the gut microbiota. [3] [4] The gut is the main location of the human microbiome. [5]

  9. Dysbiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysbiosis

    Bacteria in the human gut’s intestines are the most diverse in the human body and play a vital role in human health. In the gastrointestinal tract, dysbiosis manifests particularly during small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), commonly caused by a decrease in the passage of food and waste through the gastrointestinal tract following surgery or other pre-existing conditions.
