Barking up the microbiome tree: a multi-body-site characterization of maternal postpartum and pup early colonization dynamics

2026-08-04

Abstract excerpt

Early-life microbial colonization is critical for shaping host development, yet how different maternal microbial reservoirs contribute to colonization of distinct offspring body sites remains poorly understood. Here, we explored microbial colonization and maturation of oral and rectal microbiota in puppies during the first postnatal week and assessed the contributions of maternal oral, vaginal, rectal, and milk mi...
