Fetal gut colonization: meconium does not have a detectable microbiota before birth

2021-02-18

Abstract excerpt

Microbial colonization of the human intestine impacts host metabolism and immunity, however when colonization occurs is unclear. Although numerous studies have reported bacterial DNA in first-pass meconium samples, these samples are collected hours to days after birth. We investigated whether bacteria could be detected in meconium prior to birth. Fetal meconium (n = 20) was collected by rectal swab during elective...
