-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.+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.

-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.+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."

 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. 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.

 +OCD  Obsessing over strep throat in kids: Research links obsessive-compulsive disorder to common childhood illness
 +<blockquote> Prof. Daphna Joel and her team of researchers at Tel Aviv University's Department of Psychology have now scientifically demonstrated that strep can lead to brain dysfunction and OCD. Dr. Joel says their breakthrough could lead to new drugs for treating OCD, and may in the future prevent the psychiatric disorder altogether.

 +Conducted by the PhD student Lior Brimberg and in collaboration with Prof. Madelaine W. Cunningham of the University of Oklahoma, the research, recently presented at the 13th Congress of the European Federation of Neurological Societies in Florence, Italy, is expected to be published by the beginning of next year.
