Abstract

We present evidence related to factors that influence the structure, and subsequently function, of gastrointestinal(GI) microbiota in the general and pregnant population. Clinicians can benefit from understanding the implications that GI microbiota has for disease and wellness to clinically address the factors that adversely influence the GI microbiota during pregnancy.
