ABSTRACT
Intrapartum azithromycin prophylaxis has shown the potential to reduce maternal infections but showed no effect on neonatal sepsis and mortality. Antibiotic exposure early in life may affect gut microbiota development, leading to undesired consequences. Therefore, we here assessed the impact of 2 g oral intrapartum azithromycin on gut microbiota development from birth to the age of 3 years, by 16S-rRNA gene profiling of rectal samples from 127 healthy Gambian infants selected from a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial (PregnAnZI-2). Microbiota trajectories showed, over the first month of life, a slower community transition and increase of Enterobacteriaceae (p = 0.001) and Enterococcaceae (p = 0.064) and a decrease of Bifidobacterium (p < 0.001) in the azithromycin compared to the placebo arm. Intrapartum azithromycin alters gut microbiota development and increases proinflammatory bacteria in the first month of life, which may have undesirable effects on the child.
