Early-life development of the gut virome and plasmidome: a longitudinal study in caesarean-born infants from the CS Baby Biome RCT
This study aimed to determine whether the timing of antibiotics administered to mothers during elective C-sections affects the composition of their infants' gut virome and plasmidome. In addition, viral and plasmid dynamics, antibiotic resistance profiles, and maternal transmission of strains were investigated.
