Although regarded lightly, scientists from the United States expressed antibiotic it can disturb the balance of microbes that live in the intestines and potentially harmful to health.
A study involving three women who were given antibiotic ciprofloxacin types showed that the drug can depress the whole instead of good bacteria. As a result one of the volunteers take time until many months to recover. Study results published on the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences September 2010 edition supports the general assumption that antibiotics can destroy good bacteria inside the body.
This study certainly supports the idea behind the development of probiotic products such as yoghurt. The researchers tested it against three volunteers for 10 months. For five days a week, every day they are given the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. They then tested DNA samples to determine what types of microbes that live in the intestines. “Effects on mikrobiota ciprofloxacin intestines are deep and fast,” said Les Dethlefsen and David Relman of Stanford University in California.
Dependence
Becoming more and more research reveals that humans and animals have a mutual dependence with the bacteria. Good bacteria in the intestines helps the digestive system and can ward off bad bacteria. “Colon is one of the most complex place on Earth,” says a researcher. He explained the bacteria in the gut can affect the potential for obesity and allergies.
The breast milk of Lactobacillus reuteri contained, according to other studies, is able to protect against rotavirus infection. On the other hand, some bacteria are also known to cause inflammation that affects appetite and bowel diseases like Crohn’s and colitis.
