BackgroundBlastocystis, the most prevalent eukaryotic gut microbe in humans, has a global distribution. Studies have linked its presence with distinct gut microbiome and metabolome profiles compared to those where the organism is absent. However, the in vivo effect of antibiotics on Blastocystis and the surrounding gut microbiome remains understudied. This case study aimed to explore how antibiotic consumption influences the presence of Blastocystis and the subsequent changes in the gut microbio...
