Oral microbiota assessment at different time points during the first year of life: delivery mode and breastfeeding shape the bacterial community
These findings demonstrate that delivery mode and lactation significantly shape the neonatal oral ecosystem. Specific microbial signatures up to 12 months suggest that early-life factors and feeding choices are key in establishing the mature oral microbiota.
