Background Human milk microbiota plays a role in the bacterial colonization of the neonatal
gut, which has important consequences in the health and development of the newborn …

Human milk contains a diverse array of bioactives and is also a source of bacteria for the
developing infant gut. The aim of this study was to characterize the bacterial communities in …

The gut microbiota is significant for infants to grow and develop in the early stages of life.
The breast milk microbiota directly or indirectly influences colonizing and the development of …

Bacteria in human milk could directly seed the infant intestinal microbiota, while information
about how milk microbiota develops during lactation and how geographic location …

The acquisition and early maturation of infant microbiota is not well understood despite its
likely influence on later health. We investigated the contribution of the maternal microbiota to …

Preterm microbial colonization is affected by gestational age, antibiotic treatment, type of
birth, but also by type of feeding. Breast milk has been acknowledged as the gold standard …

Background The gut microbiome has an important role in infant health and immune
development and may be affected by early-life exposures. Maternal diet may influence the …

Research on the neonatal microbiome has been performed mostly on hospital-born infants,
who often undergo multiple birth-related interventions. Both the hospital environment and …

The intestinal microbiota in the breast-fed infant is considered as ideally healthy. We
assessed the microbiota of breast-fed full-term neonates from two different Spanish …

Evidence suggests that the type of nutrition fed to preterm infants influences their intestinal
microbiome and immunity. However, few studies have conducted a longitudinal analysis of …
