Good news!
Unfortunately, none of the referenced research articles are very new. Is this news actually a disguised ad for the company called Florey Biosciences?
"Antibiotics save lives, but they also wreak havoc on the beneficial bacteria that inhabit the human gut. Researchers are pursuing several strategies to protect these helpful microbes. One company has genetically engineered bacteria and nutritional yeast to carry an enzyme that breaks down the antibiotic amoxicillin in the gut without affecting the drug’s ability to fight infection elsewhere in the body. Other scientists have found that high-fiber diets allay antibiotics’ effects on the gut by changing how intestinal microbes metabolize nutrients."
The researchers on a quest to protect the gut from antibiotics "The crucial drugs can have unintended consequences. Innovative therapies could shield the microbiome from their effects."
