Abstract

Background

Pediatric patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) are at risk of developing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Prevention of SIBO using cyclic enteric antibiotics has been implemented to control the balance in microbial ecosystems, although its effectiveness has not been well studied.

Purpose

This study aimed to explore the change in the gut microbial composition in SBS patients during cyclic antibiotic phases and antibiotic-free period, and to compare the microbiota composition between healthy controls and SBS patients.

Method

SBS patients taking oral metronidazole alternating with trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole (TMP–SMT) and antibiotic-free conditions as a ‘10-day cyclic protocol’ were involved in fecal microbiome study using Illumina 16S sequencing.

Results

When healthy control possessed the majority of Bacteroidetes spp. (54%) and Firmicutes spp. (33%), the microbial composition in SBS patients especially Firmicutes spp. and Proteobacteria spp. was prominently changed in each phase of treatment. In antibiotic-free period, SBS patients displayed 49% Firmicutes and 36% Proteobacteria. However, higher Proteobacteria than Firmicutes were detected at the commencement of metronidazole (58% versus 33%). Similarly, 56% Proteobacteria and 27% Firmicutes were found during TMP–SMT. Escherichia coli increased prominently during the antibiotic periods.

Conclusion

Prophylactic antibiotics change the gut microbiota composition in an unfavorable direction, especially when repeatedly used for a long period. This practice should be reconsidered.

ADHS-Medikation erhöht das kardiovaskuläre Risiko

16.05.2024 Herzinsuffizienz Nachrichten

Erwachsene, die Medikamente gegen das Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätssyndrom einnehmen, laufen offenbar erhöhte Gefahr, an Herzschwäche zu erkranken oder einen Schlaganfall zu erleiden. Es scheint eine Dosis-Wirkungs-Beziehung zu bestehen.

Erstmanifestation eines Diabetes-Typ-1 bei Kindern: Ein Notfall!

16.05.2024 DDG-Jahrestagung 2024 Kongressbericht

Manifestiert sich ein Typ-1-Diabetes bei Kindern, ist das ein Notfall – ebenso wie eine diabetische Ketoazidose. Die Grundsäulen der Therapie bestehen aus Rehydratation, Insulin und Kaliumgabe. Insulin ist das Medikament der Wahl zur Behandlung der Ketoazidose.

Frühe Hypertonie erhöht späteres kardiovaskuläres Risiko

Betalaktam-Allergie: praxisnahes Vorgehen beim Delabeling

16.05.2024 Pädiatrische Allergologie Nachrichten

Die große Mehrheit der vermeintlichen Penicillinallergien sind keine. Da das „Etikett“ Betalaktam-Allergie oft schon in der Kindheit erworben wird, kann ein frühzeitiges Delabeling lebenslange Vorteile bringen. Ein Team von Pädiaterinnen und Pädiatern aus Kanada stellt vor, wie sie dabei vorgehen.
