Abstract:Objective: To analyze the exposure of food-borne antibiotics to pregnant women and their newborns in the third trimester of pregnancy, and further explore the impact of food-borne antibiotics exposure on the infant intestinal microbiota. Methods: Totally, 86 pregnant women had regular obstetric examinations from May 2018 to December 2018 in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University were collected, they were divided into control group (n=43) and antibiotic exposure group (n=43) according to the antibiotic exposure in the neonatal cord blood samples. UPLC-MS/MS and TRFIA were used to detect the exposure of antibiotics to serum of pregnant women in the third trimester, umbilical cord serum, and neonatal feces. 16S rRNA second-generation sequencing platform was used to detect and analyze the infant intestinal microbiota. Results: The serum of pregnant women, umbilical cord serum, and neonatal feces results showed a high proportion of food-borne antibiotics exposure. There was a significant difference in infant intestinal microbiota between the antibiotic exposure group and the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Low-dose, continuous-exposure food-borne antibiotics can indirectly affect the infant intestinal microbiota through the mother and thus affect the health of infants and young children.
