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

Streptococcus mutans in Umbilical Cord Blood, Peripheral Blood, and Saliva from Healthy Mothers
Marcelly Milhomem Mendes,Camilla Beatriz da Silva,Denise Bertulucci Rocha Rodrigues,Bárbara Rocha Rodrigues,Vinícius Rangel Geraldo-Martins,Virgínia Paes Leme Ferriani,Virmondes Rodrigues,Ruchele Dias Nogueira +7 more
TL;DR: The majority of children can have contact with SM-DNA during the intrauterine life by the CB, probably transferred from salivary habitat to PB and CB, and the tooth brushing can be associated to S. mutans detection in blood samples.

Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Effect of Two Probiotics on the Preterms’ Gut Microbiota
TL;DR: Probiotic supplementation with L salivarius PS11603 and B longum subsp. infantis PS10402 enhanced an earlier colonization of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in preterm infants' guts as discussed by the authors .

A novel fluorescence reporter system for the characterization of dairy goat mammary epithelial cells.

TL;DR: Primary cultures of GMECs were homogeneous and retained the function of milk synthesis, prompting their usefulness as a model for further studies, and a reporter system using fluorescent proteins driven by the CSN2 (Capra hircus beta-casein) gene promoter to detect the secretory capacity ofGMECs is developed.

The Impact of the Postpartum "Doing-the-Month" Practice on Human Milk Microbiota: A Pilot Study in Taiwan
TL;DR: It was found that the “doing-the-month” milk samples were associated with more diverse and unique milk microbiota and that these samples were also linked with more abundant Lactobacillus and prevalent Bifidobacteria (milk-PCA and milk-PCB).
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Oral Microbiome in Disease Predictions - Current Advances
TL;DR: The human body is more of microbes and less of humans, and the microbiome and the human body have coevolved for the betterment of each other for millions of years.

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.

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.

Vaginal microbiome of reproductive-age women

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.
