Antibiotic Resistence in Some Probiotic Bacteria

Antibiotic resistance leading to “superbugs” poses a severe threat to health. Research shows that some common probiotic bacteria used commercially could be resistant to several antibiotics. Bacteria can transfer genetic material to other bacteria. There is a chance these probiotic bacteria can transfer antibiotic resistance to hostile bacteria in the gut, causing a serious safety concern.

抗生素耐药性所导致的“超级细菌”对健康带来了严重的威胁。研究表明,商业贩售中使用的某些常见的人造益生菌可能对多种抗生素具有耐药性。细菌可以将遗传物质传播给其他细菌。因此这些人造益生菌有可能将抗生素耐药性传播给肠道中的有害细菌,从而引发严重的安全隐患。

Early Exposure to Antibiotics Can Cause Asthma and Allergies

Antibiotics are one of the most commonly used medications in children. But antibiotics can kill off beneficial gut bacteria and increase the risk of asthma and allergies. Avoid antibiotic use in children whenever possible. 

抗生素是儿童最常用的药物之一。但是抗生素会杀灭有益的肠道细菌,并且增加哮喘和过敏的风险。在允许范围内,尽可能地避免让儿童使用抗生素。
