Maternal transmission as a microbial symbiont sieve, and the absence of lactation in male mammals

2022-01-11

Abstract excerpt

Gut microbiomes of humans carry a complex symbiotic assemblage of microorganisms. As in all mammals, the special mode of feeding newborn infants through milk from the mammary gland enhances the opportunity for vertical transmission of the milk microbiome from parents to the gut microbiome of offspring. This has potential benefits, but it also brings with it some hazards for the host. Here we use mathematical and n...
