Description
Summary:	© 2020 The Author(s) Mitchell et al. compare early-life infant gut microbiota by delivery mode, suggesting early colonization by Bacteroides regardless of delivery mode, but loss of Bacteroides by 2 weeks in C-section-delivered infants, whether or not exposed to the vagina in labor. Infant strains matched maternal rectal rather vaginal strains.
