Overview

Longitudinal profiling shows stability in human milk microbiome in breastfed infants, indicating selective taxa-level variation may occur.

Key Points

  • Human milk microbiome remains stable during the first year of lactation, despite minor variations in specific taxa.
  • Analysis of 539 milk samples revealed the dominance of Streptococcus, Cutibacterium, and Staphylococcus species.
  • Maternal factors like pre-pregnancy BMI and allergies significantly influence specific taxa in human milk.
  • Link found between solid food introduction and minor taxonomic shifts in breast milk microbiome.
