antibiotics
A high-fat diet is associated with changes in the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites. These changes seem impair antibiotic efficacy.
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe claims that the infant gut is home to bacteria that harbor hundreds of antibiotic-resistance genes.
The evolutionary history of the human microbiota could help to understand the role of present-day gut microbes in health and disease.
Gut bacteria from people in industrialized countries exchange genes at much higher rates than bacteria from people living in non-industrialized societies.
The microbial communities inhabiting the gut have been shown to change in ways that influence the development of disease through blood metabolites.
A targeted decontamination could be a strategy to control the spreading of carbapenem-resistance plasmids both amoung patients and within patients.
Ebselen may protect from C. difficile-associated tissue damage and bolster recovery of the microbiota after antibiotic treatment.
A new study shows that interactions with the resident gut microbiota could suppress the proliferation and antibiotic-resistance evolution of superbugs.
A new study, published in Nature Medicine, suggests that changes to the microbial community in the gut could influence nutrient metabolism.
A new study (The Lancet Respiratory Medicine) suggests that the decrease in the incidence of childhood asthma is a consequence of reduced antibiotic use.
