Influence of Maternal Bifidobacteria on the Development of Gut Bifidobacteria in Infants
Pharmaceuticals, 2012 Intestinal microbiota plays an important role in human health by influencing metabolic activities that result in the creation of energy and absorbable nutrients, a barrier to the colonization of pathogens, and stimulation of the immune system.
