Some gut microbes may be associated with infertility

The findings of a recent study suggest that there is a causal link between the gut microbiota and infertility.

Lifestyle may influence how gut bacteria are shared between mothers and infants

The findings of a recent study suggest that lifestyle can influence how bacterial strains are shared between mothers and infants.

A mother’s vaginal microbes don’t influence her baby’s gut microbiota

The findings of a recent study show that a mother’s vaginal microbiota does not affect infant gut microbiota composition and development.

A mother’s diet can change the infant microbiota, prevent respiratory infection

Diet-induced changes in the gut microbiota confer protection against respiratory infections by regulating the development of key components of the immune system.

Babies receive microbes from their mothers through multiple routes

The findings of a new study suggest that mothers transmit bacteria to their infants through multiple routes — a process that ensures that babies receive essential microbes.

Diet and environment drive the diversity of the infant gut virome

The findings of a new study suggest that infants acquire their gut virome from their diet and environment rather than from their mothers.

Pregnancy-induced changes to the gut microbiota may exacerbate inflammation

The findings of a new study reveal a microbe-immune axis that is disrupted in pregnant animals, suggesting potential therapeutic approaches for pregnancy-associated sepsis.

Microbial signature may help identify women at risk for gestational diabetes

The findings of a new study suggest that biomarkers such as the gut microbiota composition may help develop diagnostics and therapeutic approaches for gestational diabetes.

Probiotic use during and beyond pregnancy: maternal impacts

Harnessing the human-microbial synergy during pregnancy in the form of probiotics has been shown to impact maternal health and the health of the developing fetus.

A mother’s gut bacteria drive intestinal inflammation in mice with autism-like traits

Autistic people who experience inflammatory problems may have been exposed to inflammation in the maternal womb. A new study published in Immunity claims.
