Non-antibiotics disrupt colonization resistance against enteropathogens - Nature
Non-antibiotic drugs from a wide range of therapeutic classes can alter the ability of gut commensals to resist invasion by enteropathogens, a previously underappreciated side effect of such drugs.

Ever wondered why proton pump inhibitors raise the risk of C. diff infections? Is it due to pH shifts or direct antibacterial effects on the gut microbiome? We think it’s the pH. 🧪💡 Dive into Julia & Patrick’s new paper for the full story! 📖👇
