Les probiotiques en thérapie préventive : Réduire les risques de diarrhée associée aux antibiotiques et à C. difficile – Mainpro+
Les probiotiques en thérapie préventive
Les antibiotiques traitent les infections bactériennes et sauvent des millions de vies, mais il est également reconnu que l’utilisation d’antibiotiques a un effet négatif sur le microbiote intestinal. Le nombre d’ordonnances d’antibiotiques au Canada est considérable, atteignant des millions chaque année. L’impact potentiel sur la santé des patients qui les utilisent peut-être plus important. Un nombre significatif de patients traités à l’aide d’un antibiotique, jusqu’à 39 %, souffriront de diarrhée associée aux antibiotiques (DAA), et peut-être de la plus grave diarrhée à C. difficile (DACD) qui affecte jusqu’à 20 % des adultes hospitalisés. Ce programme examinera l’effet des antibiotiques sur le microbiote intestinal et les avantages potentiels de l’utilisation de probiotiques. |
