Shaping microbiome function with a human milk-oligosaccharide synbiotic

Trends Endocrinol Metab. 2023 Nov 7:S1043-2760(23)00220-5. doi: 10.1016/j.tem.2023.10.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn a recent article, Button and colleagues demonstrate that human milk oligosaccharides create a nutrient niche that supports reversible colonization by Bifidobacterium infantis. Using this tunable system, they assessed the impact of B. infantis on microbiome recovery after antibiotic treatment. Overall, this work highlights synbiotics as a useful approach for developing live biotherapeutic products (LBPs).PMID:37945457 | DOI:10.1016/j.tem.2023.10.007
