Mother's Touch: Milk IgA and Protection from Necrotizing Enterocolitis.

Mother's Touch: Milk IgA and Protection from Necrotizing Enterocolitis. Cell Host Microbe. 2019 Aug 14;26(2):147-148 Authors: Dunne-Castagna VP, Taft DH Abstract Human milk feeding is associated with lower rates of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), but an understanding of mechanism is lacking. In recent work, Gopalakrishna et al. report that human infants who develop NEC first experience an increase in Enterobacteriaceae in the portion of the microbiota not bound to IgA.
