The infant’s gut microbiome is generally rich in the Bifidobacterium genus. The mother’s milk
contains natural prebiotics, called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), as the third most …

Breastfeeding profoundly shapes the infant gut microbiota, which is critical for early life immune
development, and the gut microbiota can impact host physiology in various ways, such …

Certain species of the genus Bifidobacterium represent human symbionts. Many studies
have shown that the establishment of symbiosis with such bifidobacterial species confers …

Background The carbohydrate fraction of mammalian milk is constituted of lactose and
oligosaccharides, most of which contain a lactose unit at their reducing ends. Although lactose is …

The early life human gut microbiota exerts life-long health effects on the host, but the
mechanisms underpinning its assembly remain elusive. Particularly, the early colonization of …

Gut microbiota of breast-fed infants are generally rich in bifidobacteria. Recent studies show
that infant gut-associated bifidobacteria can assimilate human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs…

Bifidobacteria are among the first colonizers of the infant gut, and human milk oligosaccharides
(HMOs) in breastmilk are instrumental for the formation of a bifidobacteria-rich microbiota…

The human gut microbiota established during infancy has persistent effects on health. In vitro
studies have suggested that human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in breast milk promote …

Mucinolytic bacteria modulate host–microbiota symbiosis and dysbiosis through their ability
to degrade mucin O-glycans. However, how and to what extent bacterial enzymes are …

Breast-fed infants generally have a bifidobacteria-rich microbiota with recent studies indicating
that human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) selectively promote bifidobacterial growth. …
