[Effect of antibiotics on the absorption of basic nutrients].
The impact of tetracycline, gentamicin, streptomycin, erythromycin, oxacillin, benzylpenicillin and sulfanilamides on the absorption function of the small intestine was studied in 79 patients with chronic bronchitis. The drugs were shown to mainly inhibit fat absorption: on the average, by 87 per cent in all the patients treated with tetracycline, on the average, by 89 and 36 per cent in 80-70 per cent of the patients treated with gentamicin and streptomycin, respectively, and, on the average by 26 and 16 per cent in 20-25 per cent of the patients treated with erythromycin and oxacillin, respectively. The absorption of protein decreased, on the average, by 23-74 per cent in all the patients treated with tetracycline, gentamicin and streptomycin. As for the other drugs, they had, on the average no significant effect on protein absorption. The absorption of carbohydrates (d-xylose) significantly decreased under the effect of these three drugs (by 21, 34 and 36 per cent, respectively). The analysis revealed a relation of absorption function to the presence and degree of intestinal dysbacteriosis.
