Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of the intestinal anaerobic bacteria colonizing the intestine of the newborn delivered by cesarean section. Control of the intestinal microecology is dependent on many factors including intestinal peristalsis, the intraluminal environment, and microbial interactions, that deter the overgrowth of pathogens populations. Numerous factors help achieve this normal balance. The effect of feeding seems to induce bacteriological changes.
