Abstract

Intestinal microbiota play a number of critical roles in the health of the organism. They assist in nutrient metabolism and play a key role in the host’s immune response. Current research is revealing that there may be a significant impact from intestinal bacteria on the gut-brain axis and that they play a downstream role in several neurological disorders.

Case presentation: This pilot study is looking at the effects of antibiotic use on a healthy 21 years old male’s intestinal microbiota during a course of amoxicillin usage and the recovery period after treatment was completed.

Keywords:Gut microflora; Antibiotics; Nicotine; Caffeine; Lack of sleep
