Does the Amniotic Fluid of Mice Contain a Viable Microbiota?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The existence of an amniotic fluid microbiota (i.e., a viable microbial community) in mammals is controversial. Its existence would require a fundamental reconsideration of fetal in utero exposure to and colonization by microorganisms and the role of ...

The amniotic fluid proteome changes across gestation in humans and rhesus macaques

Scientific Reports, 2023
Amniotic fluid is a complex biological medium that offers protection to the fetus and plays a key role in normal fetal nutrition, organogenesis, and potentially fetal programming.

Clinical significance of turbid amniotic fluid on peripartum outcome

SVU - International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: The fluid that envelops a growing fetus in the amniotic sac is called amniotic fluid (AF), many maternal and fetal components share in composition of amniotic fluid, In the last three months of pregnancy, AF turbidity increases and was ...

The meconium microbiota shares more features with the amniotic fluid microbiota than the maternal fecal and vaginal microbiota

Gut microbes, 2020
The early-life gut microbiota is associated with potential development of diseases in adulthood. The sterile womb paradigm has been challenged by recent reports that revealed the presence of the meconium, amniotic fluid, and placenta microbiome.
