Is a foetus developing in a sterile environment?
2014
Wassenaar, T.M. | Panigrahi, P.

It now seems that the placenta is frequently colonized with bacteria, and a placental microbiome has been identified. Recent literature findings are summarized here, and an attempt is made to separate pathological bacterial presence from a naturally occurring microbiome.
