Abstract:
As for pediatric patients,antibacterial drugs are the most common prescription drugs.These agents play a significant role in reducing the incidence and mortality of human infections.However,at the same time,some related adverse reactions appeared,such as the impact on intestinal microflora colonization.Intestinal microbial population has great importance in regulating body's metabolism.If early use of antibiotics in life,the composition of the intestinal microbiota will be destroyed,and resulting in obesity.Animal experiments showed that low-dose antibiotics may promote an increase in body weight,and the use of antimicrobial drugs in the early life was more effective than that in late stage.Currently,available human epidemiological investigation indicated that antibacterial drugs had a similar effect in human.Gut flora in early life is essential for the later metabolism of body,but it is susceptible to interference.Using probiotics after the application of antimicrobial drug may be beneficial to improve the balance of intestinal microflora.This may be a new direction to prevent obesity after the early use of antimicrobial drugs.Now,the domestic and foreign reports were combined to elaborate the antibacterial drug metabolism in animals,the influence of body quality on the quality of the human body and the corresponding measures after application of antimicrobial agents.
