Studying Vertical Microbiome Transmission from Mothers to Infants by Strain-Level Metagenomic Profiling

Studying Vertical Microbiome Transmission from Mothers to Infants by Strain-Level Metagenomic Profiling

ABSTRACT The gut microbiome becomes shaped in the first days of life and continues to increase its diversity during the first months. Links between the configuration of the infant gut microbiome and infant health are being shown, but a comprehensive strain-level assessment of microbes vertically tra...
