Study of gut bacteria in infants and their mothers
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how a bacteria called Clostridioides difficile grows in the digestive tracts of infants, and what factors affect whether it stays or goes away. The study will follow mothers and their babies from pregnancy through early life to understand these patterns.

This study looks at Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infections in babies under 2. It compares babies who have the infection with those who don't, using medical records to learn more about how it affects them.
This study looks at C. difficile bacteria in babies up to 2 years old. It compares babies with C. difficile infection, carriers without symptoms, and healthy babies to understand how the bacteria affects them.
This study looks at how the bacteria in caregivers' guts might be affected by working with infants under 6 months old, especially when changing diapers. It aims to understand how infant diet and caregiving might influence the spread of resistant bacteria.
This study looks at how germs in a mother can be passed to her baby and whether that affects the baby’s health. If you join, your baby (and the other parent or legal guardian) may be asked to share consent so researchers can follow the pregnancy and early life.
This study follows pregnant people from about 20 weeks until delivery, to understand how gut microbes (tiny organisms in the intestines) develop in healthy babies. It may help researchers learn how early-life gut development affects health later on.
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.
