Research conducted in the CTSI’s Clinical Research Center has found that common antibiotics do not increase the risk of Type 1 diabetes or celiac disease among children who have a genetic susceptibility for developing those diseases. The multinational TEDDY Study Group, which includes University of Florida researchers, found that everyday antibiotics are not associated with a greater risk of autoimmunity for either disease. The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study Group’s findings are published in JAMA Pediatrics.
