To compare gut microbiota of healthy infants that were exclusively breast-fed or formula-fed,
we recruited 91 infants, who were assigned into three different groups and fed by breast milk …

The infant's gut microbiome is generally rich in the Bifidobacterium genus. The mother's milk
contains natural prebiotics, called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), as the third most …

Early life, including the establishment of the intestinal microbiome, represents a critical
window of growth and development. Postnatal factors affecting the microbiome, including …

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) may provide health benefits to infants partly by
shaping the development of the early-life intestinal microbiota. In a randomized double …

Attempts to alter intestinal dysbiosis via administration of probiotics have consistently shown
that colonization with the administered microbes is transient. This study sought to determine …

Background Host-associated microbiomes, the microorganisms occurring inside and on host
