Antibiotic Exposure During Pregnancy Affects Infant Gut Microbiota

Antibiotic Exposure During Pregnancy Affects Infant Gut Microbiota

Based on a prospective birth cohort, the investigators will collect biological samples from participants including pregnant women and newborns, to measure the gut microbial diversity and metabolites of newborns. These results systematically evaluate the effects of antibiotic exposure on the structure and function of gut microbiota. The project can reveal the effects of antibiotic exposure on the growth and development of gut microbiota in early life.
