The impact of probiotics on antibiotic resistance in newborns: A systematic review.

Background And Objectives: Newborns, particularly premature ones, are vulnerable to bacterial infections and often receive antibiotics, disrupting their normal intestinal microbiota. Probiotics have multiple health benefits and are recommended for restoring balance, but caution is needed due to potential consequences, such as promoting antibiotic resistance. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a systematic review to assess current knowledge regarding the impact of probiotics on antibiotic resistance in newborns.
