Microbiotas of Hadza infants differ from those of infants living in industrialized areas

New research shows that microbiota diversity appears early in infants from nonindustrial populations and could be traced back to their mothers as well as to the local environment. 

Specific antibodies in breast milk may help to fight intestinal infections

The findings of a new research suggest that IgG in breast milk promotes immunity against intestinal pathogens and shapes the development of the gut microbiota and immune cells in early…

Probiotics may help to form a mature microbiota in premature babies

A new clinical trial indicates that Bifidobacterium strains can accelerate microbiota maturation, with positive immunological effects in premature babies.

Human milk sugar and probiotic blend may help manipulate the gut microbiota

New research suggests that a combination of human milk-derived sugars and the probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis could help manipulate the gut microbiota in ways that may offer therapeutic benefits.

Viral signature may signal deadly gut disease in premature babies

New research highlights how microbial signatures could be used to prevent necrotizing enterocolitis, leading to faster diagnosis.

Gut microbe could boost growth in malnourished infants

New research suggests that B. infantis can be used to treat children with acute malnutrition.

Lung microbiota may influence outcome of bone marrow transplant

New research investigates the role of lung microbiota in pediatric patients with lung infection or injury after bone marrow transplantation.

Early viral encounters may affect airway microbiota, lead to recurrent respiratory infections

Early viral encounters are associated with disadvantageous immune and microbiota profiles, as well as recurrent respiratory infections. A new study published in Nature Microbiology claims.

During puberty, the gut microbiota becomes more adult-like — but only in girls

Some gut microbes can affect the timing of puberty by regulating the levels of sex hormones in a sex-dependent manner. A new study published in Scientific Reports claims.
