A mother’s genes may influence infant health through the milk microbiota

The results of a recent study suggest that the milk microbiota and maternal genetics affect a child’s susceptibility to asthma and allergies.

Mother’s milk can shape the gut microbiota of very-low-birth-weight infants

The findings confirm that mother’s milk can deliver beneficial bacteria to very-low-birth-weight infants, with feeding practices and antibiotic use influencing this microbial exchange.

Antibiotic use during C-section has little impact on the infant gut microbiota

The findings suggest that while antibiotics can cause changes to the infant microbiota, they are much less significant than the impact of feeding mode.

Gut microbes may influence the risk of diabetes during pregnancy

The findings of a recent study highlight the critical role of the gut microbiota in maternal and infant health, especially in the context of GDM.

The development of the infant oral microbiome: understanding the role of Archaea and obligate anaerobes

Microbiomepost conducted an exclusive interview with Charlotte Neumann, researcher at Medical University of Graz, about the role of Archaea and obligate anaerobes in the development of the infant oral microbiome.

A father’s gut microbes influence the infant microbiota

Maternal fecal microbiota transfer in babies born by caesarean section can help to correct alterations in microbiota composition.

Birth mode and location influence the infant gut microbiota

The findings of a recent study suggest that environmental factors are important for the development of a healthy microbiota.

How do worms and gut microbes interact during early life?

The authors advocate for further research on worm-microbiota interactions, suggesting that new animal models could help inform strategies for improving health during early life.

AI-powered approach helps researchers to model the infant microbiota

The findings of a recent study show that Q-net can accurately predict the long-term trajectories of gut microbes and identify patterns indicative of future cognitive deficits.

Infant gut microbiota has its own circadian rhythm

The findings of a recent study suggest that the infant gut microbiota begins to develop circadian rhythms soon after birth, with diet having minimal influence on these microbial patterns.
