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.
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 collects stool samples from healthy adults to see how dairy phages and antibiotics affect gut bacteria. It helps researchers understand how our diet and medicines interact with the microbiome.
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 whether giving probiotics to healthy newborns changes the bacteria in their stool. It may help researchers understand early gut health, but it is only for babies who meet specific health and timing requirements.
