Green spaces may be beneficial for early life microbiota, be outdoorsy!
Analyzing and mapping the microbiota of 355 4 month-old infants to their area of living, Dr. Kozyrskyj and her colleagues revealed that living close by green spaces may be beneficial for early life microbiota. They also point out the “dog-effect”, which might be beneficial to children’s health. So, if you take a walk for the […]

New Paper: Clostridioides difficile Colonization Is Differentially Associated With Gut Microbiome Profiles by Infant Feeding Modality at 3–4 Months of Age
Congratulations to our Platform 2 Lead Dr. Anita Kozyrskyj on this recent publication! Abstract Colonization with Clostridioides difficile occurs in up to half of infants under the age of 3 months, is strongly influenced by feeding modality and is largely asymptomatic. In spite of this, C. difficile‘s presence has been associated with susceptibility to chronic disease later in […]
