In a previous study, lactic acid bacteria were isolated from meconium obtained from healthy neonates born by cesarean section. Such a finding suggested that term fetuses are not completely sterile, and that a mother-to-child efflux of commensal bacteria may exist. Therefore, presence of such bacteria in umbilical cord blood of healthy neonates born by elective cesarean section was investigated. The blood samples were submitted to an enrichment step and then inoculated onto agar plates. All the…

Sensitive Quantitative Analysis of the Meconium Bacterial Microbiota in Healthy Term Infants Born Vaginally or by Cesarean Section
- Biology, MedicineFront. Microbiol.

Lower detection rate of lactobacilli in cesarean-born babies suggests that the primary source of lacto-gut bacteria in infant gut is mainly from maternal vaginal and–to a lesser extent–anal microbiota during vaginal delivery, and that the colonization by some important Lactobacillus species is delayed in babies delivered via cesar-section.

Antenatal Microbial Colonization of Mammalian Gut
- BiologyReproductive sciences

A possible antenatal colonization of the developing mammalian gut is suggested by analyzing sterilely collected intestinal tissues, placenta, and amniotic fluid from rodent fetuses and tissues from autoptic human fetuses to confirm the high interindividual variability of commensal microbiota even in the antenatal period.
Extremely preterm neonates have more Lactobacillus in meconium than very preterm neonates – the in utero microbial colonization hypothesis
- MedicineGut microbes

The hypothesis that maternal bacteria from the gut and vagina can play a role in shaping neonates’ gut microbiota and that mother-to-infant bacterial transmission is a controlled and time-specific process is supported.

Microbial trafficking of lactobacilli and fastidious bacteria into the chorioamniotic membranes and choriodecidua occurs at term in normal pregnancies and in one case, a quantitative gradient between multiple bacterial species in the lower genital tract and placenta is demonstrated.
Evidence for contamination as the origin for bacteria found in human placenta rather than a microbiota

It is shown that the isolation of meaningful quantities of viable bacteria or bacterial DNA was possible only outside the placenta, highlighting the importance of sampling methods in studying the in utero environment.

First-Pass Meconium Samples from Healthy Term Vaginally-Delivered Neonates: An Analysis of the Microbiota

Evidence is provided that low numbers of bacteria are present in first-pass meconium samples from healthy, vaginally-delivered, breastfed term infants, suggesting that gut bacterial colonisation is extremely limited at birth and occurs rapidly thereafter.
Streptococcus mutans in Umbilical Cord Blood, Peripheral Blood, and Saliva from Healthy Mothers

The majority of children can have contact with SM-DNA during the intrauterine life by the CB, probably transferred from salivary habitat to PB and CB, and the tooth brushing can be associated to S. mutans detection in blood samples.

It is suggested that approximately one-fourth of infants acquire vaginal lactobacilli from their mothers at birth, and that the acquired lactobACilli do not last in the intestine of the infant long-term, but rather, are replaced by ones from milk or unknown sources after birth.

This study showed that using PCR-DGGE and 16S rDNA sequence analysis together resulted in a dynamic description of bacterial colonization in the infant intestinal ecosystem and allowed visualization of bacteria that are difficult to cultivate or to detect by other methods.

The broad-spectrum bacterial 16S rDNA PCR assay may prove useful for diagnosing amniotic fluid infection and may be underestimated on the basis of amniotics fluid culture results.
Natural History of Streptococcus sanguinis in the Oral Cavity of Infants: Evidence for a Discrete Window of Infectivity

It is found that the colonization of S. sanguinis occurs during a discrete “window of infectivity” at a median age of 9 months in the infants, and this in turn may suggest several ecological approaches toward controlling dental caries.
