Human milk antibiotic residue levels and their relationship with delivery mode, maternal antibiotic use and maternal dietary habits.

CONCLUSIONS: We found that the majority of human milk samples included beta-lactams or quinolones, even though the mothers did not receive these antibiotics during pregnancy and lactation. Antibiotic residues in human milk may affect early maintenance of the intestinal microbiota. Previous studies have shown that antimicrobials in food might increase the risks of allergies and could lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. Effective policies on food safety and appropriate antibiotic use during pregnancy and lactation are needed.
