Human Milk Microbiome from Polish Women Giving Birth via Vaginal Delivery—Pilot Study
The analysis carried out showed the presence of bacteria in the human milk of Polish women, including strains of lactic acid bacteria. The human milk microbiota may significantly influence the formation of the infant's intestinal microbiota, including some key genera, i.e., <i>Lactobacillus</i>, <i>Bifidobacterium</i>, and <i>Limosilactobacillus</i>, which were also isolated from the tested samples. The data presented here provide new data on culturable bacterial species isolated from breast milk from Polish women giving birth via vaginal delivery and potential routes of transmission from the neonate's oral cavity.
