Did you know that early antibiotic use in infants can impact their vaccine protection? In this video, we explore the recent research findings that suggest a link between antibiotic exposure and weakened immune responses to routine vaccinations.
The study, led by Australian experts, found that infants treated with antibiotics had lower levels of beneficial gut bacteria, which in turn affected their immune system's ability to respond optimally to vaccines. However, the research also revealed an interesting distinction: babies whose mothers received antibiotics during labor did not experience the same reduction in vaccine responses.
We'll delve into the potential reasons behind this impairment and discuss the importance of antibiotic stewardship, especially in neonatal care. Additionally, we'll touch upon the promising findings from a preclinical study suggesting that prebiotics and probiotics may help repair the gut microbiome and boost vaccine responses.
Join us as we navigate the complex relationship between antibiotics and infant health, and learn how pharmacists can provide guidance to patients while staying informed about the latest research.
