摘要
As babies leave their mothers%26apos; wombs, they are colonized by commensal bacteria. A new study shows that these microbes in a newborn%26apos;s gut can promote an increase in circulating neutrophils that can guard the body from infections. Altering a neonate%26apos;s gut microbiota with perinatal antibiotic treatment can impair neutrophils, leaving the newborn vulnerable to attack by harmful bacteria (pages 524-530).
