The neonatal body provides a range of potential habitats, such as the gut, for microbes.
These sites eventually harbor microbial communities (microbiotas). A “complete”(adult) gut …

The human gut microbiota is engaged in multiple interactions affecting host health during
the host's entire life span. Microbes colonize the neonatal gut immediately following birth …

The establishment of the human gut microbiota in early life has been associated with later
health and disease. During the 1st months after birth, the microbial composition in the gut is …

The mammalian gastrointestinal tract harbors a highly diverse microbial population termed
the microbiome, which plays a major role in nutrition, metabolism, protection against …

Early life is a critical period as our gut microbiota establishes here and may impact both
current and future health. Thus, it is of importance to understand how different factors govern …

Initial establishment of the human gut microbiota is generally believed to occur immediately
following birth, involving key gut commensals such as bifidobacteria that are acquired from …

Introduction Early life is a critical developmental window coinciding with the establishment of
a community of neonatal gut microbes which are vitally important for immune development …

The majority of organisms that inhabit the human body reside in the gut. Since babies are
born with an immature immune system, they depend on a highly synchronized microbial …

Infants begin acquiring intestinal microbiota at parturition. Initial colonization by pioneer
bacteria is followed by active succession toward a dynamic ecosystem. Keystone microbes …

Maternal microbiota forms the first infant gut microbial inoculum, and perinatal factors (diet
and use of antibiotics during pregnancy) and/or neonatal factors, like intra partum antibiotics …
