Zusammenfassung

Das Mikrobiom stellt ein wichtiges Fundament für das gesunde Heranwachsen des Neugeborenen dar. Neben seiner maturierenden Wirkung auf das Immunsystem hält es auch eine wichtige Position hinsichtlich metabolischer Funktionen und der Regulation der gastrointestinalen Physiologie inne. Das Neugeborene akquiriert die ersten Bestandteile des Mikrobioms aus dem „Inokulum Mutter“. Im Laufe der Entwicklung des Neugeborenen adaptiert sich das Mikrobiom in seiner Zusammensetzung in Abhängigkeit vom maternalen Mikrobiom, Gestationsalter, Geburtsvorgang, von Diät/Ernährung und etwaigen therapeutischen Interventionen. Therapeutische Interventionen, wie die Verabreichung von Pre-, Pro- oder Antibiotika, beeinflussen die Zusammensetzung und damit die Funktion des Mikrobioms.

Abstract

The microbiome probably provides an important foundation for the healthy physiological development of the neonate. Besides its impact on the development of the immune system, it also plays a major role in metabolic functions and the regulation of gastrointestinal physiology. The mother represents an “inoculum” and is therefore the first source of bacteria for the neonate. During maturation of the newborn, the microbiome changes its composition and depends on gestational age, delivery mode, diet, and therapeutic interventions. Therapeutic interventions, such as the administration of pre-, pro-, and antibiotics, influence the composition and therefore the correct functioning of the microbiome.
