Probiotics for gut health during antibiotic use in minor surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics (good bacteria) during antibiotics can protect your gut health after minor orthopedic surgery. It may help you avoid digestive side effects and keep your microbiome balanced.

This study tests whether taking probiotics helps your gut recover after a course of antibiotics. It's for adults aged 18–40 who are currently on a cephalosporin antibiotic.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics can help prevent another infection in people who have had a hip or knee replacement that became infected. If you are scheduled for revision surgery due to an infection, this study may be a good fit.
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics before surgery can lower the chance of infection after groin hernia repair in people who are at higher risk due to age, diabetes, obesity, or other health conditions. If you're over 60 and have one of these risk factors, this study may help you avoid a wound infection.
This study tests if taking probiotics before and after surgery can help your immune system fight infection in a hip or knee replacement. You would be given a probiotic or a placebo alongside your standard treatment.
This study tests whether taking a probiotic or postbiotic (beneficial bacteria or their byproducts) during antibiotic treatment helps protect your gut bacteria. Antibiotics can kill helpful bacteria in your digestive system, and this research explores whether supplements might help restore balance.
This trial tests whether giving oral antibiotics before surgery is better than giving no antibiotics for children who are having their colostomy closed or a pull-through procedure. It aims to reduce infections and improve recovery in children with conditions like anorectal malformation or Hirschsprung's disease.
