Antibiotic treatment-induced dysbiosis differently affects BDNF and TrkB expression in the brain and in the gut of juvenile mice.
PMID: PLoS One. 2019 ;14(2):e0212856. Epub 2019 Feb 22. PMID: 30794676 Abstract Title: Antibiotic treatment-induced dysbiosis differently affects BDNF and TrkB expression in the brain and in the gut of juvenile mice. Abstract: Antibiotic use during adolescence may result in dysbiosis-induced neuronal vulnerability both in the enteric nervous system (ENS) and central nervous system (CNS) …
Chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis is associated with detrimental bacterial dysbiosis.
PMID: Microbiome. 2019 Apr 25 ;7(1):66. Epub 2019 Apr 25. PMID: 31018870 Abstract Title: Chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis is associated with detrimental bacterial dysbiosis. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal mucosal injury (mucositis), commonly affecting the oral cavity, is a clinically significant yet incompletely understood complication of cancer chemotherapy. Although antineoplastic cytotoxicity constitutes the primary injury trigger, the interaction …
Antibiotic administration in the first year of life and throughout lifetime is significantly associated with developing asthma and allergic rhinitis.
PMID: BMC Pediatr. 2019 Jul 5 ;19(1):225. Epub 2019 Jul 5. PMID: 31277618 Abstract Title: Early antibiotic exposure and development of asthma and allergic rhinitis in childhood. Abstract: BACKGROUND: The prevalence of pediatric allergic diseases has increased rapidly in the United States over the past few decades. Recent studies suggest an association between the increase …
Dietary emulsifier polysorbate-80 induces small-intestinal vulnerability to indomethacin-induced lesions via dysbiosis.
PMID: J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2019 Jul 29. Epub 2019 Jul 29. PMID: 31359491 Abstract Title: Dietary emulsifier polysorbate-80 induces small-intestinal vulnerability to indomethacin-induced lesions via dysbiosis. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Dietary emulsifiers are widely used in processed foods and officially approved as safe for intake. However, recent studies have demonstrated that some emulsifiers alter the colonic microbiota, …
Antidepressant fluoxetine induces multiple antibiotics resistance in Escherichia coli via ROS-mediated mutagenesis.
n/a PMID: Environ Int. 2018 11 ;120:421-430. Epub 2018 Aug 18. PMID: 30125859 Abstract Title: Antidepressant fluoxetine induces multiple antibiotics resistance in Escherichia coli via ROS-mediated mutagenesis. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance poses a great threat to global public health. Overuse of antibiotics is generally considered as the major factor contributing to it. However, little is …
Detecting fluoxetine and norfluoxetine in wild bird tissues and feathers.
PMID: Environ Int. 2019 05 ;126:193-201. Epub 2019 Feb 22. PMID: 30802636 Abstract Title: Detecting fluoxetine and norfluoxetine in wild bird tissues and feathers. Abstract: The contamination of the environment with human pharmaceuticals is widespread and demand for such products is mounting globally. Wild vertebrates may be at particular risk from any effects from pharmaceuticals, …
