Longer allergy tests may breed superbugs in Kids' guts

NCT ID NCT04062344

First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study looked at children with mild, delayed allergic reactions to betalactam antibiotics (like amoxicillin). Researchers compared a short (1-4 day) versus a longer (5-8 day) oral drug challenge to see if the longer test increased the growth of resistant bacteria in the gut. The goal was to understand the risk of antibiotic resistance from extended testing, not to treat the allergy itself.
