Antibiotic treatment of honey bee colonies alters early gut microbiome assembly and induces persistent dysbiosis in newly emerged workers by Nathan O. Allen, Duan C. Copeland, Brendon M. Mott, Robert Erickson, Kirk E. Anderson

“…Abstract The honey bee worker gut microbiome is assembled during the first days of adult life and, within the first week, matures to a relatively stable state that contributes to host health and behavior. Species composition, spatial distribution in the gut, and temporal species succession patterns all follow predictable and consistent patterns, creating a recognizable healthy worker gut microbiome. …”
