18.10.2025. Martin Blaser "Life After Antibiotics"
How excessive and thoughtless use of antibiotics destroys our microbiome and jeopardizes the health of future generations. Life-saving antibiotics for severe infections, when used frequently, kill not only harmful but also beneficial bacteria, disrupting the balance of the microbiota in the gut, skin, and respiratory tract. This leads to an increase in chronic diseases — obesity, asthma, allergies, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and immune system problems. The main idea of the book is to restore respect for microbes and learn to use antibiotics carefully to preserve human health and prevent the "post-antibiotic era," in which even a simple infection can become fatal.
