Natural history of the infant gut microbiome and impact of antibiotic treatments on strain-level diversity and stability (2015, methodology): “Previous studies have suggested that children born by cesarean section have less diverse gut microbiomes (30, 38); however, we found decreased a-diversity in low-Bacteroides children irrespective of mode of delivery.”
The healthy human microbiome (2016, background): “parvula [78], and Staphylococcus [80].”
Contribution of neutral processes to the assembly of gut microbial communities in the zebrafish over host development (2015, background): “…et al., 2012), the general variable nature of infant microbiota over time (Koenig et al., 2011), and observations that the infant microbiota is heavily influenced by exogenous microbial communities, specifically those of the mother (Dominguez-Bello et al., 2010; Funkhouser and Bordenstein, 2013).”
Exploring the bovine rumen bacterial community from birth to adulthood (2013, background): “This primary bacterial community might be transmitted from the mother via skin, birth canal, or saliva, as was recently demonstrated in humans, where skin and birth canal were the main modes of acquisition (Dominguez-Bello et al., 2010).”
Intestinal microbiota in functional bowel disorders: a Rome foundation report (2012, background): “Babies are born with sterile intestines but are rapidly colonised by bacteria from their immediate environment, most importantly their mother ’s vagina and gut.(29) Early colonisers of the neonatal gut are mainly aerobes (such as staphylococci, streptococci and enterobacteria), while late colonisers”
Resistant Starches Types 2 and 4 Have Differential Effects on the Composition of the Fecal Microbiota in Human Subjects (2010, methodology): “This technique has been extremely valuable, for example, in the characterization of the human microbiota in terms of lean and obese physiological states, impact of antibiotics, and the importance of delivery mode at birth [26,27,28].”
Defining the Human Microbiome (2012, background): “Twenty minutes after birth, the microbiota of vaginally delivered infants resembles the microbiota of their mother's vagina, while infants delivered via Cesarean section harbor microbial communities typically found on human skin[32].”
Animals in a bacterial world, a new imperative for the life sciences (2013, background): “For example, human infants born vaginally have a very different succession during the early phases of gut colonization and, possibly, long-term composition of their microbiota than those delivered by Caesarean section (102).”
