Covid pandemic may have changed gut bacteria of infants
Infants who spent most of their first year in the pandemic have fewer types of bacteria in their gut than infants born earlier, according to a team of developmental psychology researchers.

Human milk-based synbiotic safely modulates damaged adult gut microbiomes
Bacteria found in the gut of nursing infants, combined with certain sugars from human milk, may enable ‘precision microbiome engineering’ as live biotherapeutics.

Racial and ethnic differences in gut microbiome emerge at 3 months old
Gut microbiome variation associated with race and ethnicity arises after three months of age and persists through childhood, according to a new study.

Wormlike animals are first amphibians shown to pass microbes to their offspring
Skin-feeding does more than provide nutrients for young caecilians - it also helps the mother pass microbes from her skin and gut down to her young, inoculating them to jump-start a healthy microbiome.

News
New mode of horizontal gene transfer between maternal and infant gut microbiome uncovered
Researchers have discovered a new mode of vertical mother-to-infant microbiome transmission, where microbes in the maternal gut shared genes with microbes in the infant gut during the perinatal period starting immediately before birth and extending though the first few weeks after birth.
