Research in recent years has uncovered the vital importance of a person’s gut bacteria for things such as digestion and overall health. But there has been some controversy as to when bacteria begin to colonize a human. New research has found it happens during and after a baby’s birth and not before. The study was led by scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario in collaboration with colleagues from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin in Germany.
The cientists collected stool samples from 20 babies delivered by Cesarean section. This excluded the transmission of bacteria that occurs naturally during a vaginal birth. “The key takeaway from our study is we are not colonized before birth,” said Katherine Kennedy, first author of the study and a PhD student. “Rather, our relationship with our gut bacteria emerges after birth and during infancy.”

Hamilton, ON (May 10, 2021) - It is well known that each person s gut bacteria is vital for digestion and overall health, but when does that gut microbiome start?
New research led by scientists from McMaster University and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin in Germany has found it happens during and after birth, and not before.

Rather, our relationship with our gut bacteria emerges after birth and during infancy, said Kennedy, first author of the study and a PhD student, whose findings are published in
