The understanding that changes in microbiome composition can influence chronic human
diseases and the efficiency of therapies has driven efforts to develop microbiota-centred …

Throughout the life span of a host, bifidobacteria have shown superior colonization and
glycan abilities. Complex glycans, such as human milk oligosaccharides and plant glycans …

A number of bacterial species are found in high abundance in the faeces of healthy breast-
fed infants, an occurrence that is understood to be, at least in part, due to the ability of these …

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are complex, multi-functional glycans present in
human breast milk. They represent an intricate mix of heterogeneous structures which reach …

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are a diverse class of carbohydrates which support
the health and development of infants. The vast health benefits of HMOs have made them a …

Fucose is a monosaccharide commonly found in mammalian, insect, microbial and plant
glycans. The removal of terminal α-l-fucosyl residues from oligosaccharides and …

Background Infant gut microbiota composition is influenced by various factors early in life.
Here, we investigate associations between infant gut microbiome development, infant age …

Human milk provides essential nutrients for infants but also consists of human milk
oligosaccharides (HMOs), which are resistant to digestion by the infant. Bifidobacteria are …

Background Bifidobacteria represent an important gut commensal in humans, particularly
during initial microbiome assembly in the first year of life. Enrichment of Bifidobacterium is …

The infant gut microbiome is impacted by early-life feeding, as human milk oligosaccharides
(HMOs) found in breastmilk cannot be digested by infants and serve as nutrients for their gut …
