Growing together, bacterium after bacterium | EurekAlert! www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

“To me it was a surprise to see how mums also acquired bacteria from other families through their kids” María Carmen Collado said. Read the full paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Every parent who has had or has kids in nursery becomes all too quickly aware of how the kids share their viruses. Now data shows how the gut microbiome is also shaped by the nursery environment especially parents and the other kids 🧪

🧪 Sending babies to nursery completely reshapes their microbiomes. Infants attending nursery share 15-20% of microbial species with peers after four months. This peer transmission exceeds family contributions, indicating social interaction drives gut diversity. 🧬💻

A few months at nursery gives a roughly 1-year-old baby more new microbes for its gut microbiome than it has acquired in its WHOLE LIFE up until that point from its family. 🤯 🧪 #microbiome #science My latest for @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Sending babies to nursery completely reshapes their microbiomes. Socializing at a young age helps to develop greater diversity in children’s microbiota, according to an analysis of baby-to-baby transmission of gut bacteria. 🧪👶🦠 #medsky @medsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

. @nature.com NEWS: Sending babies to nursery completely reshapes their microbiomes “Maybe in 20 years, we will find that people still need to thank their friends at day care for the microbes they got when they were there” Nicola Segata says. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
