Probiotics proved to be effective against dysbiosis caused by antibiotics in mice

The intestinal microbiota is composed of complex microbial communities that are parasitic in the gastrointestinal tract

Antibiotic treatment is the most common way to cause dysbiosis

In this paper, the team revealed that the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics resulted in higher mortality and lower weight gain, and led to significant changes in animal behavior, including reduced exercise and exploratory activities, reduced muscle strength, and internal organs.

This study shows that administration not only directly affects the microflora composition of adolescent mice, but also causes oxidative stress and central nervous system dysfunction

Future research needs to determine the comprehensive mechanism of microbes on brain function
