Infant gut microbiota in multi-child families converges with adults without a sibling-specific signature

2025-11-01

Abstract excerpt

The human gut microbiota undergoes rapid development during early life. Sibling presence has been associated with altered infant microbiota composition and accelerated maturation, but distinguishing direct microbial transmission between siblings from confounding by maternal reproductive history (parity) remains challenging. We analysed >5,000 faecal samples from >800 mother-father-infant triads in the Finnish HELM...
