The development of the microbiome begins in utero, however factors related to the labor and birth environment have been shown to influence the initial colonization process of the newborn microbiome. This “seeding” or transfer of microbes from the mother to newborn may serve as an early ...
Approximately 15 million preterm births at less than 37 weeks of gestation occur annually worldwide1. Preterm birth (PTB) remains the second most common cause of neonatal death across the globe, and the most common cause of infant mortality in middle- and high-income economies2. The consequences...
“Microbirth“should be mandatory viewing for every parent, pregnant women, and physician to better understand the need to care for and nurture the microbiome health pre-conception, in utero, in labor, and post delivery. Matter of fact, I think it should be viewed in school health education ...
The gut microbiome has important roles in host metabolism and immunity, and microbial dysbiosis affects human physiology and health. Maternal immunity and microbial metabolites during pregnancy, microbial transfer during birth, and transfer of immune factors, microorganisms and metabolites via breastfeeding ...
the SDI and Chao1 curves were able to differentiate between live births and stillbirths, with a lower diversity index being linked with a higher likelihood of live birth. A small sample size and the need for further substantial, well-controlled investigations may have contributed to these rudiment...
Recent studies have characterized how host genetics, prenatal environment and delivery mode can shape the newborn microbiome at birth. Following this, postnatal factors, such as antibiotic treatment, diet or environmental exposure, further modulate the d

attention to the infant microbiome status and immune co-maturation process is critical for preventative healthcare. One problem is that Clostridiales and Enterobacteriaceae bacteria along with Staphylococcus are among the original colonizers in premature babies and immediately after birth in full term ...
It was already suspected at this time that a large number of human-associated microbial species remained undiscovered, with one study estimating the simultaneous presence of some 400 microbial species in a healthy colon [16,17]. However, the fastidious requirements of some microbes and the labor-...
Overall, microbiota development initiates at birth, with the primary succession phase characterized by rapid microbial changes that decelerate into a more stable “climax community” by adolescence.83 This community, while relatively stable, can still experience fluctuations in adulthood.37 Disturbances ...
