Changes in gut microbiome following anti-tuberculosis treatment: a prospective cohort from eastern China
Findings from our study show that anti-tuberculosis treatment has profound effects on people with tuberculosis gastrointestinal function and the gut microbiota, particularly during the intensive phase of therapy. After the intensive treatment phase, the gut microbiota has partially recovered, but it is an extremely slow process.
