The microbiota is the community of microbes that colonises our bodies, outnumbering our
own cells 10 to 1. 1 This complex microbial community varies from one part of the body to
another, and from one person to another. Characteristic differences in the microbiota are
associated with various diseases. 2 As a result interest has surged in the potential for
manipulating the microbiota to promote health and treat disease. 2The term “vaginal

The term “vaginal seeding” describes the use of a gauze swab to transfer maternal vaginal fluid, and hence vaginal microbiota, on to an infant born by caesarean section. 3 4 The composition of the early microbiota of infants is heavily influenced by mode of delivery. 4 In infants born by caesarean section the microbiota resembles that of maternal skin, whereas in vaginally born infants it resembles that of the maternal vagina. 4 5
