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

The Manifold Bioactivity and Immunoreactivity of Microbial Proteins of Cow and Human Mature Milk in Late Lactation
TL;DR: In this paper , the role of bacterial proteins in milk, according to the authors' knowledge, has been analyzed, but the focus has been on the qualitative profile of the microbiota, bacterial interactions with milk compounds, and the metabolites produced by bacteria.

Identification of Lactobacillus plantarum in Breast Milk
TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of Lactobacillus plantarum in breast milk from Iranian mothers was investigated, and 35 samples (87.5%) contained suspected lactobacilli based on phenotypic tests.

Human Breast Milk: A Source of Potential Probiotic Candidates
Margherita Dalessandro,Carola Eleonora Parolin,Silvia Patrignani,Gilda Sottile,Patrizio Antonazzo,Beatrice Vitali,Rosalba Lanciotti,Francesca Patrignani +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors focused on the isolation of lactobacilli/bifidobacteria from human breast milk and their first characterization, in the perspective to find new probiotic candidates to be included in food products.

Źródła i rola mikrobioty mleka kobiecego. Przegląd literatury
Anna Kotlińska,Hubert Huras +1 more
TL;DR: There are three known hypothesis about how milk becomes colonized: bacterial transfer from the mother’s intestines (endogenous road), colonization after exposure to the bacteria in the birth canal during delivery and the transfer of bacteria from the skin to the breast during breastfeeding.

Innate Immunity at Birth: Implications for Inflammation and Infection in Newborns
TL;DR: Dietary supplements like lactoferrrin have shown to increase the levels of immunoglobulins and improve the mucosal and systemic immune response in early life and dietary limitation during lactation has shown to modify the functions of immune cells and increase the susceptibility to pathogenic invasion.

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.

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

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

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.
