Wednesday, May 15, 2024 NIAID Study Suggests Positive Metabolic Effects of Exposing Infants Born by C-Section to Vaginal Microbes Bacteria of the human microbiome. Credit: NIH. Infants delivered by cesarean section aren't exposed to their mother's vaginal microbes, which contribute to the gut microbiome of infants delivered vaginally. NIAID scientists examined the effects of exposing infants born by cesarean to vaginal microbes, finding that mice transplanted with stool from these infants had lower amounts of abdominal fat.
