early infancy
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.
The findings of a new research suggest that during the early maturation, the microbiota would be more likely to be influenced by other microbiotas on a not-too-distant level of maturity.
New research offers insights into how human gut bacteria recognize sulfated glycans. The findings could help to develop interventions for diseases where sulfated glycan metabolism is altered.
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.
