研究发现母乳低聚糖有助于新生儿清除感染性病原体,英国的研究人员认为,这特别有助于增强婴儿的免疫系统功能。伦敦帝国理工学院的研究人员发现,乳糖基-N-二岩藻黄素六糖I(LNDFHI)有助于新生儿在出生后几周内清除B族链球菌,B组链球菌是产后新生儿脑膜炎的常见感染原因,也是英国甚至全球的新生儿在出生后最初三个月里感染的主要原因。研究人员希望这些新知识能够有助于开发预防母婴感染的治疗方法。
The study found that breast milk oligosaccharides help neonatal clearance of infectious pathogens, the British researchers believe that this is particularly helpful to enhance the baby’s immune system. Researchers at Imperial College London found that LNDFHI helps neonates to get rid of Group B streptococci in the first few weeks of life, while group B streptococci are postnatal neonates The common cause of meningitis is also the main cause of infection in newborns in the UK and around the world during the first trimester of life. The researchers hope these new insights will help develop therapies to prevent mother-infant infections.
