| Abstract |
Genetic and environmental factors can affect intestinal microbiome and microbial metabolome. Among these environmental factors, the consumption of antibiotics can significantly change the intestinal microbiome of individuals and consequently affect the corresponding metagenome. The term "probiotics" is related to preventive medicine rather than therapeutic procedures and is thus considered the opposite of antibiotics. This review discusses the challenges between these contradictory terms in terms of the following points: I) antibiotic resistance, relationship between antibiotic consumption and microbiome diversity reduction, antibiotic effect on metagenome lesion, and disease associated with antibiotics; and II) probiotics as living drugs, probiotic effect on epigenetically alterations, and gut microbiome relevance to hygiene indulgence. The intestinal microbiome is more specific for individuals and may be altered by environmental alterations and the occurrence of diseases. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 15. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 May 2016.
All research outputs
#2,377,212
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Microbiology
#111
of 2,960 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#31,521
of 360,190 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Microbiology
#3
of 34 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,960 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 360,190 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 34 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
