Maternal toNeonatal Microbial Transmission and Impact of Prenatal Probiotics on Neonatal Gut Development

Maternal microbiota during pregnancy plays a crucial role in establishing the neonatal gut microbiota, which is essential for infant health. This study aimed to trace maternal microbial sources contributing to early neonatal gut colonization and assess the effect of prenatal probiotic supplementation on maternal to neonatal microbial transmission.
