Probiotic effects after antibiotic treatment
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how taking a probiotic supplement during and after a course of antibiotics affects the natural balance of bacteria in your body (your microbiome). It aims to see if probiotics help your gut recover after antibiotics.

This study looks at whether taking probiotics alongside antibiotics before and after surgery can help keep your gut bacteria healthy. It is for healthy adults having minor orthopedic surgery, like carpal tunnel or knee arthroscopy.
This study tests a capsule that samples the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) before and after taking a prebiotic supplement. It aims to see if the supplement changes the balance of gut bacteria in healthy people.
This study looks at how the natural bacteria in your gut (the microbiome) might be linked to regaining weight after losing it. It tests whether a short course of antibiotics or a placebo (a sugar pill) affects this process. The goal is to find new ways to help people keep weight off long-term.
This study tests whether giving a probiotic (a 'good' bacteria) to babies who received antibiotics shortly after birth can help their developing gut and immune system. Participants will receive a daily probiotic or placebo for about 6 weeks, and their health will be monitored.
This study looks at how probiotics (helpful bacteria) affect digestive health. You will take a probiotic supplement and provide blood, urine, and stool samples to see how your body responds.
