Maternal gut microbiota and placenta-derived tissues microbes are important for initial gut microbial colonization in infants
This study demonstrated that infant intestinal microbiota resulted from microbiotic co-provision from multiple maternal sites. In addition to the maternal gut microbiota, the placenta-derived tissues is the relevant contributor to initial infant gut microbiota, providing strong evidence for the source colonization of the infant gut microbiota.
