Antibiotics found to weaken body's ability to fight off disease
New research shows that a reduction in the variety of microbes in the gut
interferes with the immune system’s ability to fight off disease.
Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have found
that antibiotic use made neutrophils, a type of immune cell, less
effective in fighting infections and weakened the intestinal barrier
against invading bugs.

Do Antibiotics Raise Diabetes Risk via Gut Microbiota?
People who take multiple courses of antibiotics may face an increased risk
of developing both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, potentially through
alterations in gut microbiota, conclude US researchers. The risk of
diabetes was increased by up to 37%, depending on the type of antibiotic
and the number of courses prescribed.

A woman born in the 1940s might have two courses of antibiotics in
