TL;DR: It is demonstrated that vaginal microbes can be partially restored at birth in C-section–delivered babies.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the dust from ORs, collected right after a C-section procedure, contains deposits of human skin bacteria, and the OR microbiota is the first environment for C- section newborns, and OR microbes might be seeding the microbiome in these babies.

TL;DR: This is the first study showing long-term naturalization of the microbiota of CS-born infants by restoring microbial exposure at birth, and provides evidence of the pluripotential nature of maternal vaginal fluids to provide pioneer bacterial colonizers for the newborn body sites.

TL;DR: After publication of this article, the authors noticed one of the collaborator’s names had been misspelled in the ‘Acknowledgements’ section and the correct version is included below.

TL;DR: Although larger studies are required to determine whether women with obesity may benefit from prenatal lifestyle interventions targeting GWG, the results are suggestive of the intervention improving adherence to established Institute of Medicine guidelines.
