Restoring a baby’s natural exposure to maternal vaginal microbes after a C-section birth can normalize the development of the microbiota in newborn.
Scientific research
The influence of cat ownership on gut microbiota function may affect the health of the owner. A new study published in PlosOne claims.
Gynecology
A new study published in Cell claims that microbes are present in fetal tissues and they can prime the fetal immune system, creating a “microbial memory”.
Scientific research
A new study published in Genome Medicine suggests that international travel poses a high risk by favoring the global spread of antimicrobial resistance.
Gastroenterology
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe illustrates how different dispersal strategies can allow bacteria to persist in the human gut.
Gastroenterology, Nutrition
A high-fat diet is associated with changes in the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites. These changes seem impair antibiotic efficacy.
Gastroenterology
A new study published in Cell could help to detect infection outbreaks and study the distribution of antibiotic-resistant microbes in different urban areas.
Nutrition, Pediatrics
Cowpea-based foods protect the gut microbiota, helping malnourished children to grow stronger. A new study published in Cell Reports Medicine claims.
Dermatology
Immune cells called group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are responsible for triggering a response when bacteria and viruses breach the skin.
Pediatrics
The composition of a baby’s first stool could determine whether children are likely to develop allergies and other conditions later in life.
