Oral Microbiome Transmission and Infant Feeding Habits

Transmission of oral microbiota from mother to infant is a highly relevant and, so far, understudied topic due to lack of mainstream high-throughput methods for the assessment of bacterial diversity at a strain level. In their recent article in mBio, S. Kageyama, M. Furuta, T. Takeshita, J. Ma, et a...

description Transmission of oral microbiota from mother to infant is a highly relevant and, so far, understudied topic due to lack of mainstream high-throughput methods for the assessment of bacterial diversity at a strain level. In their recent article in mBio, S. Kageyama, M. Furuta, T. Takeshita, J. Ma, et al. (mBio 13:e03452-21, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1128/mbio.03452-21) evaluated oral microbial transmission from mothers to their infants by using full-length analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and demonstrated the applicability of this method for assessment of transmission of oral bacteria at the single-nucleotide-difference level. By analyzing different metadata of the mother-infant pairs, they discovered that the presence of maternal oral bacteria was higher in formula-fed infants compared to infants who were breastfed or received mixed feeding. This interesting finding suggests that breastfeeding may prevent early maturation of infant’s oral microbiome. The physiological role of this phenomenon still needs to be elucidated.
