Prompt: Brainstorm for the final essay<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most recent focus has been on pregnant mothers and how the fetus is influenced by the mother microbiota. I thought it was very interesting that throughout pregnancy the mother’s microbiota changed in composition in the GI, oral cavity, and vagina cavity. The other interesting piece of baby-mother interaction is breastfeeding and the transfer of those microorganisms to the infant<\/strong>. Since, antibiotics are so common it is interesting to learn about the effects it has on our microorganism. I also would like to learn more about what factors can change our skin’s microbiome. I feel as if the GI tract is focused on the most when talking about microorganisms so I enjoyed learning that our skin has it’s own diversity and microbiota composition. Another topic that was mentioned in a recent reading is the oral cavity microbiota and how that can influence periodontal disease <\/strong>or other teeth issues. I think I would enjoy learning more on the oral cavity microbiota and how that affects our overall health or dental health. Probiotics and it’s role in changing our microbiome was a good topic. The relation between cancer and microorganisms was also interesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I underlined the transfer of microorganisms to the infant. I specifically was discussing breastfeeding when talking about this transfer. I find that it is more interesting to me than the mode of birth and the influence of the fetus in the placenta. I think breastfeeding is something that is obviously discussed a lot with regards to pregnancy and having children. However, I think the role of the microorganisms in human milk is very minimally discussed. The article we read this week mentioned that for a long time scientists believed that milk was germ-free. I think it would be interesting to see how physicians and researchers reacted to the finding of the many microorganisms in human milk. Breastfeeding seems to be a bit of a sensitive topic for some and I think not shaming those who formula feed their children has become the norm. I think there is less information about the importance of the transfer of microorganisms because of this. I could possibly just believe this though and it is false. Since I am not at the age where I am looking into breastfeeding nor is anyone close to me. I do not think I know the current stance on breastfeeding versus formula feeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From this brainstorm, I believe I will write my paper on breastfeeding or dental health and the influence on\/by microorganisms. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prompt: Brainstorm for the final essay The most recent focus has been on pregnant mothers and how the fetus is influenced by the mother microbiota.
