A symphony of microbiome insights: from early infancy to advanced age, the microbiome orchestrates critical processes that affect our health.

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.
