Contributions of the maternal oral and gut microbiome to placental microbial colonization in overweight and obese pregnant women

Abstract A distinct bacterial signature of the placenta was reported, providing evidence that the fetus does not develop in a sterile environment. The oral microbiome was suggested as a possible source of the bacterial DNA present in the placenta based on similarities to the oral non-pregnant microb...
