Cesarean Section and Intestinal Flora of the Newborn (SECFLOR)
Mode of delivery affects gut microbiome of the infant. Infants born by caesarean section have a less heterogenous microbiome for the first weeks of life. This has been associated with an increased risk for atopy-related diseases, such as allergy and asthma. In this proof-of-principle study the investigators evaluate whether an orally delivered maternal fecal transplant to the infant during the first hours of life affects gut microbiome of the infant
