Effect of Perinatal Ampicillin or Amoxicillin/Clavulanate Exposure on Maternal and Infant Gut Microbiome, Metabolome, and Infant Responses to the 20-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine

Emi Suzuki, Victoria Deleray, Jasmine Zemlin…·Fatemeh Askarian

This study examines how maternal exposure to ampicillin or amoxicillin/clavulanate affects neonatal gut microbiome, metabolome, and vaccine responses to PCV20.

Reduced efficacy of an anti-toxin vaccine from senescence-driven attenuation of toxin virulence

Xin Du, Ching-Wen Tseng, Elisabet Bjånes…·George Y. Liu

This study shows that vaccine efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus alpha toxin decreases in aged mice due to reduced ADAM10 activity and myeloid cell dysfunction.

Influence of perinatal ampicillin exposure on maternal fecal microbial and metabolic profiles

Simone Zuffa, Sydney P. Thomas, Ipsita Mohanty…·Shirley M. Tsunoda

This study examines how maternal ampicillin exposure during pregnancy and postpartum affects fecal microbiome and metabolic profiles, linking these changes to increased offspring weight gain.
