Abstract
In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Sinha et al. describe their randomized trial assessing whether antibiotics given for maternal benefit prior to Cesarean disrupted the infants' microbiomes. Despite pre-incision antibiotics reaching the neonate, there was no meaningful alteration to the infant microbiome-especially when compared with breastmilk feeding.
