The current study aimed at exploring the diversity of bacterial lactase genes in the intestinal mucosa of mice with dysbacterial diarrhea induced by antibiotics and to provide experimental basis for antibiotics-induced diarrhea. Mice model of dysbacterial diarrhea was established by gastric perfusion with mixture of cephradine capsules and gentamicin sulfate (23.33 mL kg
−1
 d
−1
), twice a day and continuously for 5 days. Intestinal mucosa from jejunum to ileum was collected, and bacterial metagenomic DNA was extracted for Miseq metagenome sequencing to carry out diversity analysis. The results showed that specific operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were 45 in the control group and 159 in the model group. The Chao1, ACE, Shannon and Simpson indices in model group were significantly higher (
P 
< 0.01 or
P 
< 0.05) than control group. Principal component analysis (PCA) and box chart of the control group were relatively intensive, while in the model group, they were widely dispersed. Furthermore, the inter-group box area was higher than that in the intra-group. Compared with the model group, the abundance of bacterial lactase genes in Proteobacteria from the intestinal mucosa of the control group was higher, but lower in Actinobacteria and unclassified bacteria. At the genus level, the relative abundance of bacterial species and taxon units in model group was obviously increased (
P 
< 0.05). Our results indicate that antibiotics increased the diversity and abundance of bacterial lactase genes in the intestinal mucosa, as the abundance of

Cupriavidus
,
Ewingella

Methyloversatilis
,
Rhodocyclaceae
and
Rhodocyclales
. In addition, antibiotics become an additional source for lactase genes of
