Impact of Human Colostrum Associated Microbial Population on Neonatal Health
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
The first thick milk formed immediately after the delivery of newborns by memory glands of female mammals (including humans) is called colostrum. It is the basic primary requirement for the nourishment of newborns. It is a rich source of proteins, lipids, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals which helps in developing immunity of infants. Traditionally, human colostrum was considered to be a sterile fluid. But, recent researches have shown that it contains high supply of mutualistic and commensal source of bacteria which act as a probiotic to the infant gut. Bacteria in the colostrum can stimulate anti-inflammatory response by producing specific cytokines which can reduce the risk of forming large range of inflammatory infections and can also prevent the expression of immune - mediated pathologies, such as atopic dermatis and asthma. The aim of our present review is to elucidate the role of microbiota of colostrum in infant nourishment.
