Forty-eight Bifidobacterium strains were isolated from the neonatal oral fluid, infant feces and maternal feces samples, and assessed for genomic similarity based on draft genome sequencing.
The earliest microbial colonizers of the human gut could have life-long consequences for their hosts. To better understand how the maternal microbiome influences acquisition of the infant gut microbio
[objective]To study the alterations in gut microbota in autism children and explore the relationship between gut bacteria shared by children and their mothers and autism. [Relevance] Human health
Infants acquire maternal microbes from various body sites, which become early colonizers of the infant gut. Consequently, disruption of healthy maternal microbiota can influence the composition of off
