Abstract

Introduction: This study investigates the impact of different feeding methods (direct breastfeeding, expressed milk feeding, formula feeding) on the infant microbiota at 6 weeks of age.

Methods: A total of 217 healthy infants stool samples were collected from Hong Kong between August 2018 and December 2019.

Results: Various microbial taxa, including the genera Enterobacter and Raoultella were identified in the expressed breast milk feeding group. The richness and composition of the major bacterial phyla showed similar abundance between direct breastfeeding and expressed breast milk.

Discussion: These findings suggests that these bacteria may have colonized the milk during expression or could be introduced from other external sources. The mode of breastfeeding did not significantly alter microbiota parameters in the infant gut at 6 weeks.

喂养方式对中国健康婴儿肠道微生物群组成的影响：前瞻性队列研究

引言本研究调查了不同喂养方式（直接母乳喂养、挤奶喂养、配方奶喂养）对6周大婴儿微生物群的影响：方法：在2018年8月至2019年12月期间，从香港收集了共217份健康婴儿粪便样本：结果：在母乳喂养组中发现了多种微生物类群，包括肠杆菌属和Raoultella属。主要细菌门类的丰富度和组成显示，直接母乳喂养组和表达母乳喂养组的细菌丰富度相似：讨论：这些研究结果表明，这些细菌可能是在挤出母乳的过程中定植到母乳中的，也可能是从其他外部来源引入的。母乳喂养方式并没有明显改变婴儿肠道中 6 周的微生物群参数。
