Antibiotics may temporarily alter gut nerve cells, new study finds
NCT ID NCT05834036
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how a short course of antibiotics changes the nerve and glia cells in the lower gut of 10 healthy adults. Researchers took colon tissue samples before and after antibiotic treatment to count these cells and measure gene activity. The goal was to understand if antibiotics can temporarily affect the gut's nervous system, which may help explain digestive issues after antibiotic use.
