Summary
Investigators want to investigate if the Lactobacillus Reuteri (probiotic bacteria) given to
pregnant women can be found in different maternal compartments and in the first stool and
oral swab collected immediately after birth of a newborn delivered by cesarean delivery.
Investigators also want to explore if exposure to this Lactobacillus Reuteri alters the level
of inflammation in different compartments of the mother and the infant.
