A similar comparison of the prevalence of T2D (Table 3) revealed that the higher consumption of “enhancing” antibiotics (cephalosporin and quinolone) and the low utilization of broad-spectrum, beta-lactamase sensitive penicillin (J01CA) with “inhibitor” effects were associated with a higher prevalence rate of T2D. The gene discussed is LACTB; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
