The composition of human vaginal microbiota transferred at birth affects offspring health in a mouse model
1 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
Newborns are colonized by maternal microbiota that is essential for offspring health and development. The composition of these pioneer communities exhibits individual differences, but the importance of this early-life heterogeneity to health outcomes is not understood. Here we validate a human microbiota-associated model in which fetal mice are cesarean delivered and gavaged with defined human vaginal microbial...
