Abstract
Based on our results, we observed a drastic reduction in gut microbiota diversity of children treated with antibiotics, which also affecting the abundance of Bifidobacterium , a bacterial genus commonly found in the infant gut. MIC experiments revealed that more than 98% of bifidobacterial strains tested were shown to be inhibited by the AMC antibiotic.
