Article Synopsis
- Triclosan, an antimicrobial additive linked to antibiotic resistance, may negatively impact the microbiome, prompting a review of existing studies on its effects.
- The review analyzed evidence from various studies, primarily focusing on rodents, fish, and humans, indicating triclosan may reduce microbiome diversity and alter specific microbial communities, though findings were inconsistent.
- The overall conclusion highlights a lack of adequate research on triclosan's effects on the microbiome, calling for more targeted studies and guidelines to improve future research comparability.
