Restore gut bacteria in newborns using special microbiome samples
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether restoring a newborn’s gut bacteria (microbiome) can improve early health. Babies are treated based on the birth conditions, especially whether delivery was vaginal or by C-section.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are the parent of a newborn delivered at 37 weeks or later
- The pregnancy was uncomplicated and the mother did not have pre-eclampsia
- Mother can read, speak, and understand Swedish enough to consent in Swedish
- For C-section births: mother’s vaginal pH at birth must be 4 or lower
- For C-section births: mother must not have certain infections (like Group B strep, Group A strep, or bacterial vaginosis)
- The baby’s stool sample must not show certain germs (Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, or Yersinia)

This study tests whether giving healthy newborns a special mix of their own mother's friendly bacteria can help build a healthy gut. It is for mothers who had a healthy pregnancy, plan to breastfeed, and live near Helsinki.
This trial tests whether giving a small dose of the mother's vaginal bacteria to babies born by C-section can help restore their gut microbiome. It may reduce the risk of allergies and other immune-related conditions later in life.
This study looks at the gut bacteria of infants born by C-section. Researchers want to learn how the microbiome develops in healthy babies who have not taken probiotics.
This study looks at how the gut bacteria (microbiome) develop in babies born early and whether giving a small amount of the mother's stool to the baby (fecal transplant) can help. It might help premature infants have healthier gut bacteria.
This study looks at the gut bacteria of healthy, full-term newborns whose parents plan to breastfeed exclusively. It aims to understand how the gut microbiome develops in early life.
This study gives a probiotic (a type of healthy bacteria) to newborn babies to see if it helps their gut develop in a healthy way. Your baby would get the probiotic drops and you would collect stool samples to track how their gut bacteria grow.
