Abstract

The fetal gut microbiome is different from placenta and maternal buccal, skin, vaginal and stool microbiome. We clearly identified a distinct placenta microbiome. Furthermore, placentas in the same MTD have distinct microbiomes, suggesting that fetal gut and placenta origin is complex and remains unclear.
