A recent study by the University of British Columbia found that receiving antibiotics during early life can increase the risk of developing a particular disease in the future.
Most bacteria that live in the gut play an active role in promoting a healthy immune system, but antibiotic treatment often does not distinguish between good bacteria and bad bacteria. New research published in the journal Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology helps scientists understand how antibiotics affect good bacteria.
Researcher Kelly said: The study initially understands which bacteria are necessary to build a healthy immune system in later life.
The researchers tested the effects of two antibiotics (vancomycin and streptomycin) on newborn mice. They found that streptomycin increased the susceptibility of mice to allergic pneumonia in the later life of mice, but vancomycin did not.
The long-term effects of each antibiotic can be attributed to how they alter the intestinal bacterial ecosystem. The researchers stressed that babies should be treated with antibiotics when they need it, but they hope that the results of these studies will help determine which bacteria make us less susceptible to disease.
