Fecal Microbiota Functional Gene Effects Related to Single-Dose Antibiotic Treatment of Travelers’ Diarrhea
Abstract
Travelers’ diarrhea (TD) is common among military personnel deployed to tropical and subtropical regions. It remains unclear how TD and subsequent antibiotic treatment impact the resident microflora within the gut, especially given increased prevalence of antibiotic resistance among enteric pathogens and acquisition of multidrug-resistant organisms. We examined functional properties of the fecal microflora in response to TD, along with subsequent antibiotic treatment.
