Infant diet and caregiver gut bacteria study
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 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 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 tests whether giving a probiotic (a 'good' bacteria) to babies who received antibiotics shortly after birth can help their developing gut and immune system. Participants will receive a daily probiotic or placebo for about 6 weeks, and their health will be monitored.
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 tests whether giving healthy babies a daily probiotic supplement helps their gut bacteria develop in a healthy way. It compares two probiotic strains to a placebo (a supplement with no active ingredients).
This study asks parents to collect and mail in stool samples from their infant over the next two years. Researchers want to learn more about how diet affects baby health.
