2023-10-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Among the first microorganisms to colonize the human gut of breastfed infants are bacteria capable of fermenting human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). One of the most abundant HMOs, 2’-fucosyllactose (2’-FL), may specifically drive bacterial colonization of the intestine. Recently, differential growth has been observed across multiple species of Akkermansia on various HMOs including 2’FL. In cult...
