The study confirmed that infant immunity is closely related to the maternal intestinal bacteria

In a health report published in the Journal of Nature Communications on the 24th, researchers confirmed that allergies at birth are closely related to the maternal gut bacteria -- the human
plattus present in pregnant women's gut tracts, reducing the risk of food allergies in the first year of life.Over the past decade, the scientific community has invested more than $1.7 billion in human microbial research, most of which has come from the United States, Europe, China and other regions. One of the breakthrough findings is the understanding that newborns get critical microbiomes from their mothers. Microbes in the human body are actually in the order of trillions of orders of magnitude, many "innate", people are born with the ability to carry, obtained from the mother's bacteria is very important. Now scientists have been able to study the bacteria through genetic technology, and then use the genetic map of the bacteria, and constantly find new health-related information.Previous studies of the relationship between gut bacteria and health have suggested that maternal intestinal bacteria during pregnancy may play an important role in stimulating the development of the fetus' immune system. However, there has always been a view that the absence of a particular bacterium may be associated with an increased risk of immune system-related diseases.For this reason, Peter Villemin, a scientist at Deakin University in Australia, and colleagues analyzed 1,064 pregnant women and examined them every three months until they reached the age of one.The team found that children of pregnant women with human plattin were less likely to develop food allergies, and that this protective association was most pronounced in pregnant women on a high-fat, high-fiber diet. Larger families and a lack of exposure to antibiotics in the late stages of pregnancy are also associated with an increase in the number of human Platts carried by the mother.Further research is needed to validate the findings in other groups and assess the potential of human plattus as a probiotic and/or biomarker, the researchers said. The researchers noted that their findings also highlight the importance of controlling antibiotic exposure during pregnancy and the importance of adopting a diet that maintains the optimal maternal gut microbiome. (Journalist Zhang Mengran)Editor-in-Chief Circle pointpeople's life, microorganisms are with our destiny, but humans know very little about such a close partner - we are still trying to figure out the relationship between the microbiome, the human body and disease. We already know that everyone is born with herds of bacteria from the mother, but we never thought that they could help understand why people are different and why people react differently to the environment and food. Perhaps, many years from now, when we have a more accurate understanding of microbes, we will begin to ask, "What kind of bacteria are you?" " (
