Personalization of the Microbiota of Donor Human Milk with Mother's Own Milk.

ABSTRACT: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that extremely preterm infants receive mother's own milk (MOM) when available or pasteurized donor breast milk (DBM) when MOM is unavailable. The goal of this study was to determine whether DBM could be inoculated with MOM from mothers of preterm infants to restore the live microbiota (RM). Culture dependent and culture independent methods were used to analyze the fluctuations in the overall population and microbiome, respectively, of DBM, MOM, and RM samples over time. Using MOM at time = 0 (T0) as the target for the restoration process, this level was reached in the 10% (RM-10) and 30% (RM-30) mixtures after 4 h of incubation at 37°C, whereas, the larger dilutions of 1% (RM-1) and 5% (RM-5) after 8 h. The diversity indexes were similar between MOM and DBM samples, however, different genera were prevalent in each group. Interestingly, 40% of the bacterial families were able to expand in DBM after 4 h of incubation indicating that a large percentage of the bacterial load present in MOM can grow when transferred to DBM, however, no core microbiome was identified. In summary, the microbiome analyses indicated that each mother has a unique microbiota and that live microbial reestablishment of DBM may provide these microbes to individual mothers' infants. The agreement between the results obtained from the viable bacterial counts and the microbiome analyses indicate that DBM incubated with 10-30% v/v of the MOM for 4 h is a reasonable restoration strategy.

Project description:BackgroundThe survival of antibody isotypes specific to pertussis toxin (PT) and filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) from mother's own milk (MBM) and donor breast milk (DBM) during preterm infant digestion was investigated.MethodsFeed, gastric, and stool samples were collected from 20 preterm mother-infant pairs at 8-9 days and 21-22 days postpartum. Samples were analyzed via ELISA for anti-FHA or anti-PT immunoglobulin A (IgA), IgM, and IgG.ResultsAnti-PT IgA, anti-FHA IgG, and anti-PT IgG were lower in MBM than DBM at 8-9 days postpartum, whereas anti-FHA IgM was higher in MBM than DBM. Anti-PT IgA, anti-PT IgG, and anti-FHA IgG in DBM decreased in gastric contents at both postpartum times but those antibodies in MBM were stable or increased during gastric digestion. Anti-FHA-specific IgA and IgM were higher in gastric contents from infants fed MBM than from infants fed DBM at 8-9 days. All pertussis antibodies were detected in infant stools at both postpartum times.ConclusionsPertussis-specific antibodies from MBM were stable during infant digestion, whereas anti-pertussis IgA and IgG from DBM decreased in gastric contents. The constant region and variable region of antibodies and maternal immunization appear to be the critical factors for their stability to proteolytic digestion and pasteurization.ImpactPertussis-specific antibodies from mother's breast milk were stable during infant digestion, whereas anti-pertussis IgA and IgG from donor breast milk decreased in gastric contents. The constant region and variable region of pertussis-specific antibodies and the maternal immunization (previous infections and vaccinations) appear to be the critical factors for their stability to proteolytic digestion and pasteurization. Pertussis-specific antibodies from either mother's breast milk or donor breast milk survived during preterm infant digestion and both types of milk will compensate for the lower IgG transplacental transfer in preterm infants compared with term infants.
