Hidden Costs of Antibiotic Treatments
Everyone takes antibiotics. Once a breakthrough in medicine, they are now used very often. We use them as if there were essentially no long-term side effects. But what if there are? In this session, Dr. Martin Blaser will discuss dark sides of antibiotic effects on the human microbiome, and suggest how families can proceed.
