According to a December 07 2022 article, Ferring Company developed a first-of-its-kind prototype biomarker algorithm that measures the positive and negative impact on our gut microbiome of using antibiotics.

The Ferring MHI-A algorithm differentiates post-antibiotic dysbiosis from healthy microbiota in the gut associated with healthy Bacteroidia and Clostridia, versus potentially harmful species such as Gammaproteobacteria and Bacilli.

Researchers at Ferring say MHI-A is a useful for rank-ordering the microbiota-disrupting effects of antibiotics and a measure of microbiota restoration. Ken Blount, Chief Scientific Officer, Rebiotix, Vice President Microbiome Research, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, is quoted by Business Wire as saying, “This biomarker provides a concise metric for assessing the complex changes in the microbiome of trial participants pre- to post-treatment.”
