Breast milk shows benefit against antibiotic resistance
A study led by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) reveals that specific components in breast milk are associated with a reduced presence of antibiotic-resistance genes in the gut microbiota of infants. The research, published on 2026-09-06, highlights the potential role of breastfeeding in limiting the spread of antibiotic resistance among newborns. The findings suggest that breast milk may help protect babies by influencing the development of their gut bacteria, thereby reducing the risk of antibiotic-resistant infections.
