The Importance of Early-Life Microbial Exposures
13:13 - 21:49 (08:35)
The developmental process of a human's microbial identity can be affected by several factors, such as whether they were breastfed, exposed to antibiotics, or even the presence of a family pet. Infants born through natural childbirth have different initial microbiota compared to those born through C-section, potentially affecting their immune system, metabolism and other parts of their biology in different developmental trajectories.

Summary
The developmental process of an individual can be influenced by a variety of factors including whether they were breastfed or formula-fed, their exposure to antibiotics, and even whether they were born through a C-section or natural childbirth. Studies show that the microbial identity an individual has can send their immune system or metabolism in different developmental trajectories.
