Changes in Healthy Infant Gut Microbiota over the Past Decades

Bifidobacteria typify the gut microbiota of healthy, breastfed infants. Altered gut microbiota composition in early infancy characterized by decreased Bifidobacterium abundance has been linked with a heightened risk of non-communicable diseases. Our goal was to assess factors impacting on the gut mi...

Description
Summary:Bifidobacteria typify the gut microbiota of healthy, breastfed infants. Altered gut microbiota composition in early infancy characterized by decreased Bifidobacterium abundance has been linked with a heightened risk of non-communicable diseases. Our goal was to assess factors impacting on the gut microbiota composition in infants throughout the allergy and obesity epidemics of the past decades.
