Microbiome Damage and Repair

What antibiotics do to the gut ecosystem, and what the research says about the way back. This reference book follows the collapse in biomass and diversity, the differences between antibiotic classes, the loss of colonization resistance, the lasting trace in the resistome, and the drop in short-chain fatty acids and bile acid signalling.

It then turns to recovery: the timeline of the microbiome after a course, what shapes it, the idea of an alternative steady state, and the place of prebiotic fibre, fermented foods and probiotics, including the delay that a probiotic can cause. The closing chapters widen the view to the rumen and One Health.

A long reference for readers who want the evidence behind the advice, written for looking things up. It is general information, not medical advice.
