Background: The fecal microbiota has been c'haracterized in some adult populations, but little is known about its community structure during lactation.Objectives: We characterized the maternal fecal microbiome during lactation-and explored possible mediating factors such as nutrition.Methods: Fecal samples were collected from 20 lactating women from 2 d to 6 mo postpartum, and bacterial taxa were characterized with the use of high-throughput sequencing. Bacterial community structure (at each taxonomic level) and relations between bacterial taxa and environmental and dietary variables were visualized and analyzed with the use of stacked bar charts, principal component analysis, and-multivariate analyses such as nonmetric multidimensional scaling and canonical correlation analysis.Results: Complex bacterial community structure was somewhat similar to those previously published for other adult populations (although there were some notable differences), and there were no clear associations with time postpartum or anthropometric or environmental variables. However, Spearman rank correlations suggested that increased intake of pantothenic acid, riboflavin, vitamin B-6,-and vitamin-B-12 were related to increased relative abundance of Prevotella (r= 0.45, 0.39, 0 34, and 0.24, respectively; P
