Diet-microbe interactions play an important role in modulating the early-life microbiota, with
Bifidobacterium strains and species dominating the gut of breast-fed infants. Here, we …

Bifidobacteria are among the first colonizers of the infant gut, and human milk
oligosaccharides (HMOs) in breastmilk are instrumental for the formation of a bifidobacteria …

Human microbiota assembly commences at birth, seeded by both maternal and
environmental microorganisms. Ecological theory postulates that primary colonizers dictate …

Maternal milk contains compounds that may affect newborn immunity. Among these are a
group of oligosaccharides that are synthesized in the mammary gland from lactose; these …

The infant's gut microbiome is generally rich in the Bifidobacterium genus. The mother's milk
contains natural prebiotics, called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), as the third most …

Human milk is the gold standard for nutrition of infant growth, whose nutritional value is
mainly attributed to human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). HMOs, the third most abundant …
