Abstract
Nuriel-Ohayon et al. demonstrate a dramatic shift in the gut microbial composition of women and mice during late pregnancy, including an increase in the relative abundance of Bifidobacterium. Using in vitro and in vivo experiments, they show that supplementation of progesterone affects the microbial communities, including increasing the relative abundance of Bifidobacterium.
