A critical assessment of the “sterile womb” and “in utero colonization” hypotheses: implications for research on the pioneer infant microbiome
After more than a century of active research, the notion that the human fetal environment is
sterile and that the neonate's microbiome is acquired during and after birth was an accepted …

[HTML][HTML] Microbial exposure during early human development primes fetal immune cells
The human fetal immune system begins to develop early during gestation; however, factors
responsible for fetal immune-priming remain elusive. We explored potential exposure to …

Maturation of the infant microbiome community structure and function across multiple body sites and in relation to mode of delivery
Human microbial communities are characterized by their taxonomic, metagenomic and
metabolic diversity, which varies by distinct body sites and influences human physiology …

The not-so-sterile womb: evidence that the human fetus is exposed to bacteria prior to birth
The human microbiome includes trillions of bacteria, many of which play a vital role in host
physiology. Numerous studies have now detected bacterial DNA in first-pass meconium and …
