In addition, many of you will have children, so please answer the following questions using the Society for Applied Microbiology September 2018 reading entitled "First Contact" in Canvas in regard to the microbiome of babies a. Antibiotic use during pregnancy has been linked to what percentage of premature babies? b. True/False: Microbial products from our GI tract crossover to the developing fetus in the womb. c.

True/False: Use of antibiotics (which average 3 treatments in the first year) have been linked to more chronic gut diseases (eg, irritated bowel disease increased 700%). i. True/False: Although it has a high success rate (eg, 94% for curing Clostridium dificile infections). fecal microbiota transplanting should be replaced by probiotics in the future.Explanation / Answer
