Antibiotics adversely affect intestinal communities and prebiotic fibers are effective to counteract the side effects of antibiotics. The effects of prebiotic fibers vary due to their molecular characteristics. This study compared the effects of three fibers with different fermentation rates on fecal microflora with the perturbance of antibiotics in vitro. The results showed that supplementation of the low-fermentable fiber (konjac glucomannan, KGM) enhanced the viability of several gut bacterial groups and increased the production of acetic acid and total SCFAs better than the high- (galactooligosaccharides, GOS) and moderate-fermentable fibers (inulin, INU) with antibiotic disturbance. The relative abundance of Bacteroidetes was significantly lowered after fermentation with GOS compared with KGM and INU in the presence of ampicillin. KGM fermentation also maintained the relative abundance of possible butyric acid producer Clostridium. These results suggest that low-fermentable carbohydrates confer better effects to relieve or counteract antibiotic influence on gut microbiome.
