The effect of amoxicillin-induced intestinal dysbiosis and cholera toxin on gut health and allergic sensitization to cow’s milk – a study in Brown Norway rats
Abstract
Cholera toxin (CT) is a mucosal adjuvant used in animal models of allergy. Some studies have shown that the commensal microbiota is critical for the adjuvant function of CT, but results are conflicting and the mechanism involved remain largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated how CT and dysbiosis induced by the antibiotic amoxicillin (AMX) affect gut health and sensitisation to cow’s milk
