However, a comprehensive evaluation of the infant gut microbiome in the United States is lacking. The My Baby Biome study, designed to address this knowledge gap, evaluated the gut microbiomes of 412 infants (representative of U.S. demographic diversity) using metagenomics and metabolomics. Regardless of birth mode and/or …
Missing gut bacteria in US babies triples allergy and eczema risk
US infants lacking Bifidobacterium in their gut microbiome face significant changes in microbial composition, metabolic function, and immune-related health risks. This large, nationally representative study links early-life Bifidobacterium deficits to a three-fold increase in eczema, allergy, or asthma by age two.
Every June 27th, World Microbiota Day is celebrated, a date that seeks to make visible the importance of this group of microorganisms that is in the human body and that influences from conception on the development of the immune, digestive and neurological system, just to mention a few examples.Currently, its relevance in public health begins to be widely recognized, especially in the early years, since it can make the difference in well-being t…
Nutrition in early life shapes intestinal immunity
27.06.2025 - Researchers from the University of Bern, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin have discovered that the composition of our diet in early life can strengthen the immune system. Using a mouse model, the researchers showed that certain food components increase the production and diversity of antibodies in the intestine, regardless of the existing
