Research progress on breast milk microbiota and its effect on infants
This paper outlines the main components of breast milk flora,their sources,the factors involved,and their impact on the flora and dis-eases of future generations.In addition to being rich in nutrients,breast milk contains a unique microbiota.Hundreds of bacterial species have been identified in breast milk,including commensal,probiotic,and potentially beneficial bacteria.The source of breast milk flora is currently uncertain and may originate from the mammary gland,the mother's skin,the infant's mouth,or the transfer of the mother's intestinal flora.In addition,breast milk flora is influenced by a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors and has individual variability in composition.Breast milk vertically transmits beneficial bacteria to infants through breastfeeding,which promotes the formation of healthy intestinal flora,enhances the development of the im-mune system,and thus reduces the risk of diseases associated with early life or late growth.milk flora and provide a more theoretical support for re-search and application of breast milk flora.
