Effects of prenatal antibiotics on the infant gut microbiome
Three different bacteria of the infant gut microbiome will be obtained through collection of infant stool samples at birth and at 6 weeks of age. These bacteria will be measured and comparisons made between infants whose mothers took antibiotics during pregnancy and infants whose mothers did not take antibiotics during pregnancy. Pregnant women will be recruited between their 35-37th weeks of pregnancy and will complete two surveys, the first prenatally and the second at 6-weeks postpartum.
