TLDR
A better understanding of the link between the milk microbiome and health benefit, the potential factors influencing this relationship and whether or not it can be influenced by nutrition is required to open new avenues in the field of pregnancy and lactation.Abstract:
The presence of bacteria in human milk has been acknowledged since the seventies. For a long time, microbiological analysis of human milk was only performed in case of infections and therefore the presence of non-pathogenic bacteria was yet unknown. During the last decades, the use of more sophisticated culture-dependent and -independent techniques, and the steady development of the -omic approaches are opening up the new concept of the ‘milk microbiome’, a complex ecosystem with a greater diversity than previously anticipated. In this review, possible mechanisms by which bacteria can reach the mammary gland (contamination versus active migration) are discussed. In addition, the potential roles of human milk for both infant and maternal health are summarised. A better understanding of the link between the milk microbiome and health benefit, the potential factors influencing this relationship and whether or not it can be influenced by nutrition is required to open new avenues in the field of pregnancy and ...read more

Human Milk Microbiota and Oligosaccharides: A Glimpse into Benefits, Diversity, and Correlations.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of milk benefits for newborns and mothers is presented, including origins, diversity, benefits, and effect of maternal diet on the milk microbiota, and a focused insight into milk microbiota is presented.

Microbiota data from low biomass milk samples is markedly affected by laboratory and reagent contamination.

TL;DR: Evaluation of the composition and temporal stability of the microbiota in 288 milk samples was largely hampered by background contamination, despite careful and aseptic sample processing, suggesting that data filtration can be useful for identifying biologically relevant associations in milk microbiota data.

TL;DR: The foetal GIT is not sterile but is spatially colonised before birth by a pioneer microbiome of distinct bacterial and archaeal communities, which varies between GIT components.

Implications of Probiotics on the Maternal-Neonatal Interface: Gut Microbiota, Immunomodulation, and Autoimmunity.
Brianna K. Swartwout,Xin M. Luo +1 more
TL;DR: The use of maternal probiotics in health and autoimmune disease is discussed and their immunomodulatory properties are investigated and their use for autoimmunity is relatively unexplored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Administration of probiotics Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Lactobacillus gasseri K7 during pregnancy and lactation changes mouse mesenteric lymph nodes and mammary gland microbiota.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that probiotics can modulate the bacterial composition of MLN and MG microbiota in ways that could improve the health of the MG and, ultimately, thehealth of the newborn.

A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins

TL;DR: The faecal microbial communities of adult female monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs concordant for leanness or obesity, and their mothers are characterized to address how host genotype, environmental exposure and host adiposity influence the gut microbiome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk
TL;DR: Pediatricians play a critical role in their practices and communities as advocates of breastfeeding and thus should be knowledgeable about the health risks of not breastfeeding, the economic benefits to society of breastfeeding, and the techniques for managing and supporting the breastfeeding dyad.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut Microbiota in Health and Disease
TL;DR: The advances in modeling and analysis of gut microbiota will further the authors' knowledge of their role in health and disease, allowing customization of existing and future therapeutic and prophylactic modalities.

TL;DR: The inherent differences within and between women in different ethnic groups strongly argues for a more refined definition of the kinds of bacterial communities normally found in healthy women and the need to appreciate differences between individuals so they can be taken into account in risk assessment and disease diagnosis.

Bacterial Community Variation in Human Body Habitats Across Space and Time
Elizabeth K. Costello,Christian L. Lauber,Micah Hamady,Noah Fierer,Noah Fierer,Jeffrey I. Gordon,Rob Knight,Rob Knight +7 more
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.
