For somebody working on the gut #microbiome, the responses ("gross", "embarrassment", "pseudoscience", etc.) to this @Nature article on the treatment of C-section babies with their mother’s poo are quite sobering. So, I thought I would provide a perspective in the thread below.

Happy @WMicrobiomeDay. I have interviewed Michael Murphy-Walter for some expert advice on how to feed your #microbiome.

This Cell paper on the 'cancer microbiome' repeats all the mistakes that gave us the so-called 'fetal microbiome'. Inadequate contamination controls, no culture data, no microscopy. And is it really ecologically plaucible that 165 genera colonize tumors?

@FergusShanahan1 Best buds 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great occasion for my 1st tweet! Proud contributor to this @Nature perspective on the ongoing debate questioning a fetal #microbiome. With 46 experts in #microbiome #science and related disciplines, we assess the evidence. The answer, an unambiguous ‘No’ https://t.co/AK9JOyQGvs

Expert analysis refutes claims humans are colonised by bacteria before birth. @Pharmabiotic Prof @JensWalter15 and a global team of leading experts evaluated the evidence for microbes in human foetuses.

Gut bacteria linked to cognitive dysfunction. Age-related shifts in gut #microbiome increase isoamylamine (IAA) in humans. Same shifts in mice cause cognitive decline via S100A8. Blocking IAA binding to S100A8 promoter reverses memory/learning loss in mice https://t.co/k8aDQDNEhv

Love this. Very insightful!
