To safeguard against microbial diseases and maintain optimal silk yields, the sericulture industry relies on antibiotics to promote health, well-being, vitality of silkworms (Bombyx mori). Antibiotics are commonly incorporated into synthetic diets for rearing or included as key components in bed disinfectant formulations. The silkworm-rearing industry’s reliance has led concerns about development antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Previous research uncovered a dual role antibiotics: not only do they prevent disease, but also silkworm growth by reshaping gut microbiome enhancing nutrient absorption, highlighting need judicious use. Therefore, there is critical prudent management further exploration alternative growth-promoting strategies minimize resistance risks. This study investigates relationship between antibiotic administration growth, shedding light mechanisms underlying antibiotic-induced effects assessing risk antimicrobial (AMR) emergence dissemination.
