Physiology & Medicine / How does the route of antibiotic administration affect childhood development?
« on: 11/07/2015 03:22:04 »
With more and more evidence that oral antibiotics haveing long term effects on child development, has there been any research on other delivery methods? If oral antibiotics are negitively effectiong your gut biome and effecting nutrition and development would bypassing the gut avoid the problems? Would other delivery technology, like injection, skin patches, or timed release implants, allow for the more targeted delivey of antibiotics? I would think that targeting the infection zone would allow more of the antibiotic to target the pathogen as opposed to spending itself on collateral biota.
