Description
Hongqin Zhang and co-authors track in 2024 how a vaginal yeast infection in pregnancy reshapes microbes in mother and newborn. The infection is known to disturb the mother's vaginal community, but the sweep into the baby's first stool was unmapped. Forty-four mothers, seventeen with the infection and twenty-seven healthy, gave samples before and after birth, matched with their babies' first stool.
Gene-based reads mapped each community. Healthy mothers were ruled by one friendly genus, they report. The infected group shifted hard: that genus fell while two others rose, both before and after delivery. What a baby meets first may echo the mother's state, which makes treating the infection a two-generation question, not one.
