Abstract
are transferred from the maternal gut to the BM, as well as from the BM to the newborn gut, depending on different ASVs. These findings suggest that isolation of key microorganisms from breast milk could be utilized to modify the microbiota of BM or newborns by giving the mother a probiotic or adding it to artificial milk to promote neonatal health.
