Early Bacteria Exposure Halves Risk of Infant Lung Infections
A UK study found that the presence of Bifidobacterium longum in newborns, often acquired through vaginal delivery, significantly reduces the risk of lung infection hospitalizations within two years, affecting 4% of babies with the bacteria compared to a much higher rate in those without it.
