Microbial succession at weaning is guided by microbial metabolism of host glycans
These findings highlight the importance of host-derived glycans in shaping microbial communities during the weaning transition and suggest host glycans as novel targets to modulate intestinal microbial populations, introduce beneficial probiotics, and enhance immune system development during weaning.
