The delicate balance between the human microbiome and the development
of psychopathologies is particularly interesting given the ease with which the microbiome can be altered by external factors, such as diet, 23
exposure to antimicrobials24, 25 or disrupted sleep patterns.26 For example, a link between antibiotic
exposure and altered brain function is well evidenced by the psychiatric side -
effects of antibiotics, which range from anxiety and panic to major depression, psychosis and delirium.1 A recent large population study reported that
treatment with a single antibiotic course was associated with an increased risk for depression and anxiety, rising with multiple
exposures.27 Bercik et al. 28 showed that oral administration
of non-absorbable antimicrobials transiently altered the composition
of the gut microbiota in adult mice and increased exploratory behaviour and hippocampal expression
of brain - derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), while intraperitoneal administration had no
effect on behaviour.
