Prevent future disease by analyzing and shaping the infant’s oral microbiome
- m463 6y agoBut we already have this :) When an infant is nursing, they transfer any infection they're fighting to the mother's nipple, and her immune system formulates (ha) a response and the next time the child nurses, they get antibodies to help fight the infection.
- majkinetor 6y agoWhile that may be interesting hypothesis, it has nothing to do with the review which claims we might be able in future to predict some health issues based on oral microbiota community specifics. Also, makes you wonder how much damage did we do with widespread antibiotic use.
