Maternal nutrition during pregnancy may affect the mother-to-child transmission of bacteria, resulting in gut microflora changes in the child with long-term health consequences later in life. However, evidence supporting the effect of maternal nutrition during pregnancy on the infant gut microbiome remains scarce, and most relevant studies have been conducted on animal models (Chu, 2016<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following pilot study explored the impact of high\/low gestational intakes of fruit and vegetables on the infant microbiome and investigated the interrelationships between maternal nutrient intakes and the abundance of infant gut microbiome taxa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maternal fruit and vegetable consumption and their nutrient status<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mothers with high fruit and vegetable consumption had a significantly higher intake of some macronutrients (glucose, fructose, and dietary fibers), vitamins (folic acid and ascorbic acid), and minerals (potassium) compared with mothers with low fruit and vegetable consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maternal fruit and vegetable consumption was significantly correlated with infant gut microbiome composition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The microbiome of 2-month-old infants varied depending on whether the maternal consumption of fruit and vegetables during pregnancy was high or low (Table 1). Though, other potential confounders such as maternal age and education level, family income, gestational age and weight gain, delivery mode, antepartum antibiotics, group B Streptococcus positivity, sex of the infant and breastfeeding did not impact the infant gut microbiome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beneficial health effects of Cutibacterium, Parabacteroides, and Lactococcus found in higher abundance in gut microbiome of infants with high maternal fruit and vegetable consumption are demonstrated in the literature, mainly on infant immunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
