ABSTRACT
Antibiotics are the cornerstone to cure infectious diseases, however, it also destroys the intestinal inherent microflora, and may cause serious gastrointestinal dysfunction, such as abdominal distension, diarrhea, mucosal barrier damage etc. In severe conditions, it may induce intestinal sepsis. With the development of the human microbiology group program and the popularity of microbial sequencing technology, people can comprehend the effects of antibiotics on intestinal flora deeply, meanwhile the traditional biomedical model (the basis of bacterial disease) is questioned. It presents the effects and mechanisms of antibiotics on intestinal microflora and intestinal mucosal barrier function in detail and demonstrates the feasibility by the treatment of probiotics and fecal transplantation to construct "health-promoting microbes" to adjust gastrointestinal function, in addition, it can promote the rational use of antibiotics.
