Long-Term Exposure to Ceftriaxone Sodium Induces Alteration of Gut Microbiota Accompanied by Abnormal Behaviors in Mice

Abstract: Background: Growing evidence points out that a disturbance of gut microbiota may also disturb the gut-brain communication. However, it is not clear to what extent the alteration of microbiota composition can modulate brain function, affecting host behaviors. Here, we investigated the effects of gut microbiota depletion on emotional behaviors. Methods: Mice in the experimental group were orally administered ceftriaxone sodium solution (250 mg/ml, 0.2 ml/d) for 11 weeks. The open-field test and tail-suspension t… Show more

“…It should be noted that the overall post-surgery condition included ceftriaxone treatment of all patients. This beta-lactam antibiotic is able to kill a broad spectrum of bacteria [ 45 ], thus potentially shaping the gut bacteriobiome [ 46 ], especially when administered orally. Therefore, despite the very short time between the surgery and stool collection in this study, and hence the short time of antibiotic treatment, the revealed changes in the fecal bacteriobiome might have resulted, in part, due to the antibiotic per se.…”

“…In addition to early life being of critical importance in terms of disruptive antibiotic effect on gut microbiota, antibiotic studies on adult animals also showed impaired behavior and brain function [ 71 , 83 , 93 , 94 , 95 ] and neurodegenerative disorders [ 96 ] both in prolonged and short courses, supporting the crucial role of gut microbiota-brain axis during lifespan. Some of the studies showed that these disruptive effects can be rescued by probiotic administrations [ 89 , 97 ].…”

“…In contrast to this evidence, male F344 rats housed in germ-free conditions exhibited increased anxiety-like behaviour in the open field test 19 . Furthermore, adolescent antibiotic treatment was shown to considerably increase anxiety-like behaviour in adult male C57Bl/6OlaHsd mice, whereas no significant changes in adult anxiety-like behaviour were observed following adult antibiotic treatment in male C57Bl/6OlaHsd or BALB/c mice 20 , 21 . When we used this antibiotic treatment protocol in female C57BL/6 mice in another study, we found that gut microbiota depletion increased anxiety-like behaviour in mice with or without experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) 5 .…”

“…Alterations in the diversity and composition of gut microbial ecosystems are associated with anxiety-related disorders and major depression. Substantial research has demonstrated that rodents treated with antibiotics or bred under germ-free conditions display significant changes in anxiety- and depression-related behaviours 1 , 5 , 8 , 16 – 21 . Furthermore, clinical studies suggest considerable comorbidity between AD and anxiety or depression 22 , 23 .…”
