Just found this study:

I know that my mother was administered penicillin in her because she had to carry a message on her keychain that she is allergic to penicillin. I wonder if her "allergy" to penicillin was an effect of some of her bifido dying off? I was a c-section at birth, but breastfed.
Thoughts?

All strains of bifidobacteria, whatever the species, were sensitive to penicillins: penicillin G, amoxicillin (MIC50 0.06 mg/L), piperacillin, ticarcillin, imipenem and usually anti-Gram-positive antibiotics (macrolides, clindamycin, pristinamycin, vancomycin and teicoplanin).
