Abstract

Ng et al. systematically compare microbiota responses to antibiotics in mice. A fiber-deficient diet or single housing aggravated otherwise rapid recovery, whereas microbiota reprogramming through repeated treatment or transmission between hosts enhanced resilience. This work highlights the translational potential for modulating diet, sanitation, and microbiota composition during antibiotic treatment.
