New therapies could stop antibiotic-induced damage to gut health
Researchers determined the concentrations at which a specific antibiotic would affect certain strains for more than 800 antibiotic–strain combinations.

Duke University scientists discovered evidence of antibiotic resistance in the gut microbiome of lemurs that live close to humans.
Fecal transplants could potentially protect newborns who received antibiotics that killed “good” gut bacteria
Not only are you at risk for antibiotic-resistance infections, but a new mouse study finds antibiotics can also affect your athletic performance.
A team of scientists at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) collaborated to develop a live biotherapeutic product (eLBP) that, when given together with commonly used antibiotics, protects the gut microbiome from adverse disturbance.
disrupt immune cells in the gut, increasing risk of the oral condition called thrush, which can be fatal in people with serious illnesses.
Healthy adults who eat a diverse diet with at least 8-10 grams of soluble fiber a day have fewer antibiotic-resistant microbes in their guts.
A new study shows that narrow-spectrum antibiotics are effective in selectively eliminating the harmful strain Clostridium difficile (C. diff) while sparing nearby and harmless bacteria.
An international team of scientists warn that dogs and cats may be passing antibiotic-resistant bacteria to their owners.
Some bacteria, such as salmonella, have developed a mechanism that lets them evade destruction entirely by the immune system.
