Abstract:

The issue of the effect of prenatal and perinatal pathological processes on the intestinal microbiome of the fetus and newborn requires increased attention.

OBJECTIVE

To analyze the results of scientific research reflecting the influence of the intestinal microbiome of a newborn on the stages of postembryonic development.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A search for contemporary scientific studies relevant to the review’s objectives was conducted in the scientific citation systems eLibrary (RSCI), Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus. Thirty-three publications relevant to the review’s subject matter were analyzed and included in the list.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION

The idea of meconium non-sterility due to maternal-fetal transplantental microbial transition has been confirmed. The diagnostic value of detecting violations of the taxonomic composition of the microbiome lies in optimizing disease prevention and treatment strategies.

Keywords:

meconium
intestinal microbiome
forensic medical examination
newborns
