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.

How gut bacteria may impact a woman’s health

The findings of a recent study suggest that gut bacteria transform steroids into hormones that may impact a woman’s health, especially during pregnancy.

How vaginal microbes are linked to pregnancy complications

The findings of a recent study suggest that in bacterial vaginosis, certain vaginal microbes disrupt the protective glycans on vaginal epithelial cells, altering processes that mediate cell turnover, death and…

Study characterizes the microbiota of milk from mothers with preterm infants

The findings of a recent study shed light on the microbiota of the main nutrition types that preterm infants receive and may inform future studies on the influence of different…

A mother’s microbiota influences placental growth, mouse study shows

The findings of a recent study suggest that a mother’s gut microbiota influences fetal health by promoting placental growth and vascularization.
