A new study has found that early exposure to antibiotics can cause permanent asthma and allergies. A recent study demonstrates that early exposure to antibiotics destroys beneficial bacteria in the digestive system and can cause asthma and allergies. The research, which was published in the jour
, stated that antibiotics, “among the most used medications in children, affect gut microbiome communities and metabolic functions. These changes in microbiota structure can impact host immunity.”
The second and third stages of the experiment tested the hypothesis that certain healthy gut bacteria that are critical for proper immune system development are killed by early exposure to antibiotics , which results in allergies and asthma. Mice that received antibiotic-altered samples were no more likely than other mice to develop immune responses to house dust mites, just as people who receive antibiotics in adulthood are no more likely to develop asthma or allergies than those who don’t.
“This was a carefully controlled experiment,” said Blaser. “The only variable in the first part was antibiotic exposure. The only variable in the second two parts was whether the mixture of gut bacteria had been affected by antibiotics. Everything else about the mice was identical.
