The infant microbiome development: mom matters (2014, positive): “Breast milk contains bacteria [53–61] that have been shown to vary from colostrum to late lactation [62] and by gestational age [62], maternal health status [56], and delivery mode [56,62].”
The complex microbiota of raw milk. (2013, methodology): “…studies (Heikkila & Saris, 2003; Delbes et al., 2007; Devirgiliis et al., 2008; Maniruzzaman et al., 2010; Hunt et al., 2011; Masoud et al., 2011; Alegria et al., 2012; Cabrera-Rubio et al., 2012; Ercolini et al., 2012; Quigley et al., 2013) using different methods and from various locations.”
The composition of the gut microbiota throughout life, with an emphasis on early life (2015, background): “Breast-fed infants are exposed to the milk microbiota which has been reported to contain more than 700 species of bacteria (48).”
The human milk microbiota: origin and potential roles in health and disease. (2013, background): “The results of a second study on the breast milk microbiome nvolving 18 mothers indicated that milk bacteria are not contamiants and suggested that this site-specific microbiome is influenced y several factors that significantly skew its composition [34].”
Mom Knows Best: The Universality of Maternal Microbial Transmission (2013, background): “Regions discussed include the oral cavity [14,16], the mammary glands [40,78,79], the sebaceous skin surrounding the breast [78,80], the vaginal tract [19,33,73], and the intrauterine environment [14,15,17,18,29,35–37,40].”
The Human Microbiome and Child Growth - First 1000 Days and Beyond. (2019, background): “Breast milk harbors a diverse microbiota, which varies by maternal weight and delivery mode, and between populations, but is most commonly characterized by Proteobacteria (primarily Pseudomonas), Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus, and is compositionally distinct to the skin, oral, and gut microbiome”
