Antibiotics help Salmonella to flourish

Recent research has highlighted why Salmonella gastroenteritis can easily emerge after an antibiotic treatment. In light of the focus on reducing antibiotic use in animals, this might yet be another argument why minimising its usage is so important. Antibiotics create a shift in the microflora, reducing the production of SCFAs like butyric acid, which opens the path for Salmonella to flourish. More insights in the exact mechanism might help us find ways to overcome this negative impact in case
