Maternal Microbiome Transfer

Maternal Microbiome Transfer is a biological process in which microorganisms are vertically transmitted from a mother to her offspring during gestation, parturition, or early postnatal life, thereby seeding the infant’s initial microbial communities and influencing host immune and metabolic development.
