Engineered Bacteria Prevent Antibiotics from Harming the Beneficial Gut Microbes
Antibiotic-degrading microbes could help avoid opportunistic infections and reduce antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic-induced changes in the gut microbiota have been linked to a variety of metabolic and inflammatory illnesses, as well as an increased risk of subsequent infections and the development of antibiotic resistance. Scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology designed and evaluated the in vivo…
