Early microbiota perturbations are associated with disorders that involve immunological underpinnings. Cesarean section (CS)-born babies show altered microbiota development in relation to babies born vaginally. Here we present the first statistically powered longitudinal study to determine the effect of restoring exposure to maternal vaginal fluids after CS birth. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we followed the microbial trajectories of multiple body sites in 177 babies over the first year of life; 98 were born vaginally and 79 were born by CS, of which 30 were swabbed with a maternal vaginal gauze right after birth. Compositional tensor factorization analysis confirmed that microbiota trajectories of exposed CS-born babies aligned closer to that of vaginally born babies. Interestingly, the majority of amplicon sequence variants from maternal vaginal microbiomes on the day of birth were shared with other maternal sites, in contrast to non-pregnant women from the HMP study. The results of this observational study prompt the urgent need of randomized clinical trials to test whether microbial restoration reduces the increased disease risk associated with CS birth, and the underlying mechanisms. Also, it provides evidence for the pluripotential nature of maternal vaginal fluids to provide pioneer bacterial colonizers for the newborn body sites. This is the first study showing long term naturalization of the microbiota of CS-born infants by restoring microbial exposure at birth.

C-section alters the maturation of the infant microbiota. Song et al. show that restoring maternal microbes immediately after birth in Cesarean-born infants naturalizes their microbiota developmental trajectory. Perinatally, the maternal vaginal fluids appear pluripotential to provide pioneer bacterial colonizers for the newborn body sites.
