Gut microbiota in maternal-infant populations from the PRACHITI Cohort

Anemia is highly prevalent in resource limited settings, especially during pregnancy and postpartum, and is linked to adverse maternal-infant health outcomes. The role of gut microbiota in anemia during pregnancy remains poorly understood, despite the recognized links between microbiota and maternal-infant health. This study aims to evaluate the association between maternal anemia during pregnancy and the gut microbiota profile in pregnant and postpartum women, and their infants.
