Altering the Intestinal Microbiota during a Critical Developmental Window Has Lasting Metabolic Consequences
Open accessAbstract
Acquisition of the intestinal microbiota begins at birth, and a stable microbial community develops from a succession of key organisms. Disruption of the microbiota during maturation by low-dose antibiotic exposure can alter host metabolism and adiposity. We now show that low-dose penicillin (LDP), delivered from birth, induces metabolic alterations and affects ileal expression of genes involved in immunity. LDP that is limited to early life transiently perturbs the microbiota, which is sufficient to induce sustained effects on body composition, indicating that microbiota interactions in infancy may be critical determinants of long-term host metabolic effects. In addition, LDP enhances the effect of high-fat diet induced obesity. The growth promotion phenotype is transferrable to germ-free hosts by LDP-selected microbiota, showing that the altered microbiota, not antibiotics per se, play a causal role. These studies characterize important variables in early-life microbe-host metabolic interaction and identify several taxa consistently linked with metabolic alterations. PAPERCLIP:

“A causal role for the involvement of gut microbes is in part based on the fulfillment of one of Koch’s postulates - namely, the transmission of a disease related phenotype with transplantation of gut microbial organisms to a new host (Cho and Blaser, 2012; Cox et al., 2014; Dumas et al., 2006; Gregory et al., 2015; Koch, 1880; Sandhu and Chase, 1986).”

“Nonetheless, the gut microbiome is known to be remarkably dynamic and adaptive, including changes in response to different dietary inputs, as well as the presence versus absence of distinct diseases (Cox et al., 2014; Koren et al., 2011; Wu et al., 2011).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
