The infant gut microbiota affects childhood health. This pioneer microbiota may be
vulnerable to antibiotic exposures, but could be supported by prebiotic oligosaccharides …

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are a family of glycans found in breastmilk with over
200 identified structures. Despite being t​​ he third-largest solid component in breastmilk …

The infant gut microbiome is impacted by early-life feeding, as human milk oligosaccharides
(HMOs) found in breastmilk cannot be digested by infants and serve as nutrients for their gut …

Temporal development of maternal and infant microbiomes during early life impacts short-
and long-term infant health. This study aimed to characterize bacterial dynamics within …

Human milk microbiome studies are currently hindered by low milk bacterial/human cell
ratios and often rely on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, which limits downstream analyses …
