Antibiotics show a clinical benefit whenused for the treatment of pouchitis. The downsidesof antibiotic treatment, especially with recurrent orprolonged courses such as used in inflammatory boweldisease, are significant side effects that often causeintolerance to treatment, Clostridium dificile infection,...
In a studypublishedinScience Advances, Dr. Shai Bel and his research team at the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine of Bar-Ilan University have uncovered crucial insights into how antibiotic use increases the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The study demonstrates that antibiotics interfere with ...

Although, positive role of special bacteria in induction of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) including Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD) have been demonstrated in several studies but the consensus on etiology of IBD and beneficial effect of antibiotics has not been reached yet. And...
Crohn’s disease is aninflammatory bowel disease(IBD). It’s characterized by chronic inflammation in the digestive tract. There’s no cure for Crohn’s, but medications including antibiotics may help manage the disease. Antibiotics are medications used to treat or prevent infections caused by bact...
Dysbiosis in the gut microbiota is now also being linked with several diseases and disorders including obesity, allergic diseases (asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis), and inflammatory bowel disease,15as well as to host resistance to immunotherapies in various cancers.16,17 ...
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics, enteric or other systemic infections, and stress have all been reported to be potential triggers of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although a mechanism of triggering a flare of IBD can be hypothesized for each factor, the associations...
The role of bacteria and antibiotics in the pathophysiology and treatment of ulcerative colitis has been postulated for over 60 years. The first case reports of the use of antibiotics to treat inflammatory bowel disease were published in the 1940s. Multiple studies since then have demonstrated a ...
in the presence of inflammatory bowel disease, the oral pathogenic bacteria Klebsiella and Enterobacter proliferate abnormally and colonize the gut, aggravating gut inflammation.15Therefore, we hypothesized that systemic inflammation caused by experimental periodontitis and ectopic colonization of the oral micro...
