Impact of early life antibiotic and probiotic treatment on gut microbiome and resistome of very-low-birth-weight preterm infants

Raymond Kiu, Elizabeth M. Darby, Cristina Alcon-Giner, Antia Acuna-Gonzalez, Anny Camargo, Lisa E. Lamberte, Sarah Phillips, Kathleen Sim, Alex Shaw, Paul Clarke, Willem van Schaik, John Simon Kroll, Lindsay J. Hall

This study examines how early antibiotic and probiotic treatments affect the gut microbiome and resistome in preterm infants, finding that probiotics reduce antibiotic resistance genes and MDR pathogens but do not eliminate them.
