The human milk microbiome varies by environmental factors and is associated with infant growth: findings from the IMiC Consortium

2025-09-19

Abstract excerpt

Human milk (HM) is a complex ecological matrix that connects mothers and infants to the surrounding environment, and promotes infant growth and health. While certain components of HM are well studied, including its macronutrient content and immune properties, the microbial composition of HM (i.e. the microbiome) is poorly characterized and its impact on infant health phenotypes is largely unknown. We hypothesized...
