Early-adolescent antibiotic exposure results in mitochondrial and behavioral deficits in adult male mice
Abstract Exposure to antibiotic treatment has been associated with increased vulnerability to various psychiatric disorders. However, a research gap exists in understanding how adolescent antibiotic therapy affects behavior and cognition. Many antibiotics that target bacterial translation may also a...

Abstract Exposure to antibiotic treatment has been associated with increased vulnerability to various psychiatric disorders.
