“…65 Both Hunt et al 64 and Cabrera-Rubio et al 65 only detected few sequences of Bifidobacterium upon analysis of milk samples. However, other studies have identified this genus in over 90% of samples taken from mothers 61 and have found associations between levels of bifidobacteria in maternal milk and infant feces, 66 which may partly explain the increased levels of Bifidobacterium found in the feces of BF infants. Although taxonomic differences could be attributed to primers used for analysis, as mentioned previously, incomplete cell lysis during DNA isolation, due to the thick bacterial cell wall, has been recognized to influence the ability to detect bifidobacteria in samples.…”

The role of early life nutrition in the establishment of gastrointestinal microbial composition and function

The development of the human infant intestinal microbiota is a sequential process that begins in utero and continues during the first 2 to 3 years of life. Microbial composition and diversity are shaped by host genetics and multiple environmental factors, of which diet is a principal contributor. An understanding of this process is of clinical importance as the microbiota acquired in early life influence gastrointestinal, immune and neural development, and reduced microbial diversity or dysbiosis during infancy is associated with disorders in infancy and later childhood. The goal of this article was to review the published literature that used culture-independent methods to describe the development of the gastrointestinal microbiota in breast-and formula-fed human infants as well as the impact of prebiotic and probiotic addition to infant formula, and the addition of solid foods.

“…35 The infant microbiota are also established from bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus found in human milk. 36,37 The high concentration of galactooligosaccharides in human milk provides optimal growth conditions for bifidobacteria species, which are prevalent microbes in the infant's intestinal microbiome. 38,39 We now appreciate that reduction of nitrate to nitrite requires the commensal bacteria that normally reside in our body.…”

Background: Estimation of nitrate and nitrite concentrations of milk sources may provide insight into potential health risks and benefits of these food sources for infants, children, and adults. The World Health Organization and American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive consumption of human milk for the first 6 months of life. Human milk is known to confer significant nutritional and immunological benefits for the infant. Consumption of formula, cow's, and soy milk may be used as alternatives to human milk for infants. Methods: We sought to estimate potential exposure to nitrate and nitrite in human, formula, bovine, and soy milk to inform total dietary exposure estimates and recommendations. Using sensitive quantitative methodologies, nitrite and nitrate were analyzed in different samples of milk. Results: Human milk concentrations of colostrum (expressed days 1-3 postpartum; n ¼ 12), transition milk (expressed days 3-7 postpartum; n ¼ 17), and mature milk (expressed >7 days postpartum; n ¼ 50) were 0.08 mg/100 mL nitrite and 0.19 mg/100 mL nitrate, 0.001 mg/100 mL nitrite and 0.52 mg/100 mL nitrate, and 0.001 mg/100 mL nitrite and 0.3 mg/100 mL nitrate, respectively, revealing that the absolute amounts of these anions change as the composition of milk changes. When expressed as a percentage of the World Health Organization's Acceptable Daily Intake limits, Silk Ò Soy Vanilla (WhiteWave Foods, Broomfield, CO) intake could result in high nitrate intakes (104% of this standard), while intake of Bright Beginnings Soy Pediatric
