Abstract
The antibiotic tylosin tartrate is used to treat honey bee hives to control

, the bacterium that causes American foulbrood. We found that bees from tylosin-treated hives had gut microbiomes with depleted overall diversity as well as reduced absolute abundances and strain diversity of the beneficial bee gut bacteria
Snodgrassella alvi
