Abstract

The article focuses on a pilot study that suggests vaginal microbiota transfer (VMT) may positively impact the neurodevelopment of infants born via cesarean delivery. The study found that VMT in cesarean-delivered infants led to higher neurodevelopment scores compared to a control group, indicating the potential for VMT to improve the fecal microbiome and neurodevelopment in cesarean-born infants. Further studies are needed to explore the long-term effects and clinical implications of VMT.
