Short-Term Lincomycin Exposure Depletion of Murine Microbiota Affects Short-Chain Fatty Acids and Intestinal Morphology and Immunity

Lincomycin, as one of the most commonly used antibiotics, may cause intestinal injury, enteritis and other side effects, but it remains unknown whether these effects are associated with microbial changes and the effects of different doses of lincomycin on infants. Here, 21-day old mice were exposed...

description Lincomycin, as one of the most commonly used antibiotics, may cause intestinal injury, enteritis and other side effects, but it remains unknown whether these effects are associated with microbial changes and the effects of different doses of lincomycin on infants. Here, 21-day old mice were exposed to 1 and 5 g/L lincomycin to explore the effects of lincomycin on the gut microbiota, metabolites and inflammation. Compared to the control mice, 1 g/L lincomycin exposure decreased the body weight gain of mice (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Both 1 and 5 g/L lincomycin exposure reduced the diversity and microbial composition of mice (<i>p <</i> 0.05). Furthermore, 1 and 5 g/L lincomycin reduced the relative concentrations of acetate, propionate, butyrate, valerate, isobutyric acid and isovaleric acid in the colon chyme of mice (<i>p <</i> 0.05). In addition, 5 g/L lincomycin exposure reduced the villus height, crypt depth, and relative expression of <i>TLR2</i>, <i>TLR3</i>, <i>TLR4</i>, <i>IL-18</i>, <i>TNF-α</i>, and <i>p65</i> in the jejunum of mice (<i>p</i> < 0.05), while 1 g/L lincomycin exposure reduced the relative expression of <i>TLR2</i>, <i>TLR3</i>, <i>TNF-α</i>, and <i>p65</i> (<i>p <</i> 0.05). Collectively, these results highlight the depletion effect of short-term lincomycin exposure on microbiota and the further regulatory effect on intestinal morphology and immunosuppression in infant mice.
