The Effect of Early Life Antibiotic Exposures on Diarrheal Rates Among Young Children in Vellore, India

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Antibiotic treatment of childhood illnesses is common in India. In addition to contributing to antimicrobial resistance, antibiotics might result in increased susceptibility to diarrhea through interactions with the gastrointestinal microbiota. Breast milk, which enriches the microbiota early in life, may increase the resilience of the microbiota against perturbations by antibiotics.
