 ===== Successive infection: early infections predispose a person to later chronic disease ====
-There is broad support for the conclusion that early infections, especially acute infections, predispose a person to later onset of chronic diseases, diseases which are likely caused by chronic microbial infections. The role beta-lactam antibiotics, which are often prescribed for acute infections, play in fostering the growth of L-form bacteria is discussed elsewhere.

-Clearly, the microbiota can be affected in any number of ways that are not picked up by the relatively crude tests that we use to measure "health." Further, patients carry pathogenic elements of their microbiota but without the symptoms to show for it – at least initially.

 The variability of patients' responses – both between control and experimental groups, and among an experimental group (some subjects get a side effect, some don't) – may ultimately be a testament to the unique nature of each person's microbiota.
