Background: The first 1,000 days of life represent a critical window for gut microbiome development. Increasing evidence suggests that early-life antibiotic exposure disrupts microbiome maturation, enhances the gut resistome, and predisposes children to adverse health outcomes.

Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we systematically reviewed 10 peer-reviewed studies published from 2010–2024. Eligible studies included human infants or children exposed to systemic antibiotics in the first two years of life and assessed outcomes in microbiome composition, .. Read More»
