Impact of perinatal amoxicillin exposure on the gut microbiota of 12-week-old offspring.

This study investigates the impact of perinatal amoxicillin exposure on the gut microbiota of 4-week-old offspring in mice. Fecal samples were collected and analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing to assess changes in microbial diversity and composition. The findings aim to enhance understanding of how early-life antibiotic exposure affects gut microbiota colonization, which may have long-term implications for offspring health.
