Birth of the infant gut microbiome: moms deliver twice
Open accessAbstract
The infant gut is rapidly colonized by microbes shortly after birth. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe,Bäckhed et al. (2015) shed new light on the assembly of the infant gut microbiome early in life, and how diet and delivery mode shape this community in a western human population.

Acquisition of microbes occurs primarily at birth, with delivery through the birth canal exposing the infant to its mother's microbiota, resulting in vertical transmission of an initial maternal signature.
“However, the acquisition of microbes occurs primarily at birth, with delivery through the birth canal exposing the infant to its mother’s microbiota, resulting in vertical transmission of an initial maternal signature (81).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
