Antibiotic use during C-section has little impact on the infant gut microbiota

The findings suggest that while antibiotics can cause changes to the infant microbiota, they are much less significant than the impact of feeding mode.

Artificial intelligence reveals a treasure trove of antimicrobial molecules

The findings suggest that artificial intelligence can help uncover new antibiotics, opening the way for new approaches to antibiotic discovery. The work also offers an open-access resource for antibiotic developers.

New antibiotic kills harmful bacteria while sparing the gut microbiota

The findings of a recent study may inform the development of antibiotics that kill harmful bacteria and not beneficial ones.

Gut microbes can adapt to long-term antibiotic use

The findings of a recent study suggest that antimicrobial-resistance mutations in commensal bacteria can make the microbiota surprisingly resilient to antibiotics.

Antibiotics alter the gut microbiota in ways that disrupt responses to immunotherapy

The findings of a recent study suggest that antibiotics should be prescribed with caution in cancer patients who are planning to receive PD-1 inhibitors.

Mice study hints at how gut microbes may protect from childhood obesity

The findings of a recent study suggest that the microbiota-derived metabolite phenyllactic acid can prevent antibiotic-associated obesity in early life.

Microbial consortia may help fight intestinal infections

The findings of a recent study suggest that microbial consortia such as MET-2 may be effective strategies to keep intestinal pathogens and antibiotic-resistant organisms at bay.

How do antibiotics influence the microbiota’s impacts on immunotherapy?

Understanding how antibiotics influence the microbiota’s impacts on immunotherapy may inform strategies to identify cancer patients that are more likely to respond to cancer treatment.

How the human microbiota may help treat tough infections

Microbiota-based approaches could help researchers expand the therapeutic toolkit for fighting antibiotic resistance and treating tough infections.

Antibiotics may alter gut microbes in ways that hinder cancer immunotherapy

The findings of a recent study suggest that targeting the interactions between MAdCAM-1 and specific receptors on the surface of immune cells may help to improve immunotherapy outcomes.
