Identificación mediante PCR-FRLP de bacterias presentes en el calostro de mujeres residentes en Barranquilla,  Colombia

Motivation for the study. There is little information on the microbiota found in the colostrum of women living in the Colombian Caribbean. Identifying and isolating microorganisms in this fluid is of interest to both medicine and industry. Main findings. The dominant bacterial genera found in colostrum were Staphylococcus, Lactobacillus, and Enterococcus. Microorganisms with probiotic potential were isolated and should be studied in greater detail. Public health implications. Understanding the microbiota found in colostrum allows us to understand its contribution to infant health and develop strategies to enhance the beneficial impact of these microorganisms on their development.
