Delivery mode shapes the acquisition and structure of the initial microbiota across multiple body habitats in newborns

TL;DR: It is found that in direct contrast to the highly differentiated communities of their mothers, neonates harbored bacterial communities that were undifferentiated across multiple body habitats, regardless of delivery mode.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial Community Variation in Human Body Habitats Across Space and Time

TL;DR: The results indicate that the microbiota, although personalized, varies systematically across body habitats and time; such trends may ultimately reveal how microbiome changes cause or prevent disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Application of Ecological Theory Toward an Understanding of the Human Microbiome

TL;DR: This work explores three core scenarios of human microbiome assembly: development in infants, representing assembly in previously unoccupied habitats; recovery from antibiotics, representingassembly after disturbance; and invasion by pathogens, representingAssembly in the context of invasive species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moving pictures of the human microbiome.

TL;DR: The largest human microbiota time series analysis to date is presented, covering two individuals at four body sites over 396 timepoints and finds that despite stable differences between body sites and individuals, there is pronounced variability in an individual's microbiota across months, weeks and even days.
