Erythromycin effect on the intestinal microbial community of rats by E.V. Skvortsov, Rish.S. Muhammadiev, Rin.S. Muhammadiev, L.R. Valiullin

“…The research is important for the practical purposes of animal farming and veterinary medicine, because a significant increase in the abundance of pathogenic microorganisms caused by antibiotic treatment turns the intestine into a reservoir of infections resistant to antibiotics, which need to be combated efficiently. To solve this problem, both rapid and accurate methods must be elaborated for quantitative determination of the main bacteria in the intestine during the use of antibiotics, such as erythromycin. …”
