Early exposure to antibiotics can trigger long term susceptibility to asthma, according to new research.
Early life antibiotic increases risk of asthma: providing clues to a potential prevention adult asthma Importantly the research team isolated a molecule produced by gut bacteria that in the future could potentially be trialed as a simple treatment, in the form of a dietary supplement, for children at risk of asthma to prevent them developing the disease.
The first years of life are important in developing a stable gut microbiota, according to Professor Marsland."It is shaped first by food intake -- both milk and solid foods -- as well as genetics, and environmental exposures. Infants at high risk of allergies and asthma have been shown to have a disrupted and delayed maturation of the gut microbiome," he said.
This susceptibility was maintained long-term, even after the gut microbiome and IPA levels returned to normal, highlighting that this molecule's function was particularly important early in life.
