Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic resistance in children's oral microflora is a growing concern, with limited research on its prevalence in healthy children, especially those who may be immunocompromised and at risk for infections.
- A study conducted in Peshawar, Pakistan, analyzed 364 healthy children aged 7-13, focusing on their antibiotic usage and sampling their oral bacteria to identify resistant strains.
- Results showed notable antibiotic use among participants, with increasing resistance rates linked to age and gender, indicating a potential public health issue as resistant bacteria may complicate dental and systemic infections.
