Distinct composition of gut microbiota during pregnancy in overweight and normal-weight women. (2008, methodology): “Samples were analyzed as previously described (6).”
Reduced diversity of the intestinal microbiota during infancy is associated with increased risk of allergic disease at school age. (2011, result): “This interpretation finds support in the report on reduced bacterial diversity and increased growth of Staphylococcus aureus in stool samples from infants becoming overweight at age 7 years.(2) Colonization of the airways has only been studied recently, probably because of the common misconception t”
Encapsulation Technology to Protect Probiotic Bacteria (2012, background): “Moreover, studies suggest that some specific changes in gut microbiota composition are associated with different diseases [46, 47].”
The composition of the gut microbiota throughout life, with an emphasis on early life (2015, result): “These results link with observations of early microbial differences in infants developing obesity at school age (184).”
Long‐term consequences of breastfeeding on cholesterol, obesity, systolic blood pressure and type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta‐analysis (2015, background): “Breastfed infants present higher Bifidobacteria counts (15), and a lower counts of these bacteria has been observed in faecal samples of obese children (16,17).”

Intestinal microbiota in human health and disease: the impact of probiotics (2011, background): “For example, associations have been made between dysbiosis in infants and the later development of childhood obesity (Collado et al. 2008b; Kalliomäki et al. 2008) and atopic and allergic diseases (Björkstén et al. 2001; Kalliomäki et al. 2001; Penders et al. 2007; Sjögren et al. 2009; Wang et…”
Interactions between gut microbiota and host metabolism predisposing to obesity and diabetes. (2011, background): “One study tried to prospectively assess gut microbiota in infants subsequently developing obesity (16), finding that children who became overweight by age seven had a lower proportion of Bifidobacteria and higher levels of Staphylococcus aureus in their infancy than children who remained lean.”
The role of the gut microbiota in energy metabolism and metabolic disease. (2009, background): “A recent study has shown for the first time in human that differences in the gut microbiota may precede overweight development [94].”
The First Microbial Colonizers of the Human Gut: Composition, Activities, and Health Implications of the Infant Gut Microbiota (2017, background): “In this context, it has been observed that the abundance of the bifidobacterial population at 6 and 12 months inversely correlates with overweight in 7-year-old children (282).”
