Popis: | Background Disruption of the infant gut microbiota has been linked to long-term health outcomes, including obesity and allergic disease [1]. Antibiotics can significantly alter the microbiota [2], but evidence is scarce for the long-term effect of antibiotic exposure during the perinatal period (shortly before or after delivery). Our research aimed to determine the impact of infant and maternal perinatal antibiotic exposure on the infant gut microbiota at 1 year of age. |
