The findings of a new study suggest that a newborn’s lung immunity is influenced by the interplay between maternal γδ T cells, the gut microbiota and microbial-derived SCFAs.
The findings of a new study suggest that mycobiome maturation and infant growth trajectories are linked.
The findings of a new study support the ‘sterile womb’ hypothesis and may help scientists avoid pitfalls of contamination in the analysis of samples where microbes are expected to be…
A mother’s microbiota may shape the infant gut microbiota through horizontal gene transfer, in addition to the classical transmission of maternal bacteria to the infant’s gut.
According to Christoph Lacroix (ETH Zurich), bifidobacteria are critical in the development of the neonatal microbiota. Here's why.
A recent study suggests that people who spend time together share similar gut microbiotas — with some microbes being largely transmitted between friends and relatives.
The findings of a new research suggest that a mother’s diet during nursing influences her offspring’s microbiota composition, gut health and predisposition to become obese.
A supplement of LGG would seem to favour the proliferation of Bifidobacterium and the improvement of clinical and immunological response to childhood cystic fibrosis.
Moraxella may be involved in protecting children from COVID-19 infections through its action on amino acid and lipid metabolism in the upper respiratory tract.
Antimicrobial resistant bacteria are present in newborns after just a few hours of life and they help to understand the routes of transmission of antibiotic-resistance genes.
