Congenital Infection Influence on Early Brain Development Through the Gut-Brain Axis.

A thorough investigation of the mechanisms and consequences antibiotics may have on the maternal and/or fetal gut microbiome is yet to occur, but there appears to be a clear trend in the studies that have been conducted thus far: early antibiotic exposure negatively influences the fetal gut microbiota, resulting in lasting effects on neurological development ( Cantey et al., 2018 ; Eck et al., 2020 ; Zhou et al., 2020 ).
