演題 | Title
『Development of the oral and gut infant microbiome』
概要 | Abstract
The initial microbial colonization of the infant is a complex process that defines the foundation for a healthy microbiome development. Bifidobacterium longum is one of the first colonizers of newborns' gut, playing a crucial role in the healthy development of both the host and its microbiome. However, B. longum exhibits significant genomic diversity, with subspecies displaying distinct ecological and metabolic strategies including differential capabilities to break down human milk glycans (HMGs). At the same time, the infant's oral cavity is colonized with distinct microbes, many of which are not well known. To promote healthy infant microbiome development, a good understanding of the factors governing infant microbiome dynamics is required. In my talk I will present my group's newest advances in this research area relevant for child development.
