The Human Milk Microbiome and its Association with milk minerals and Infant Growth in a Mam-Mayan Community.The relationship between micronutrients and microbiome has been studied in the gut but not in milk. Presently, there is a significant gap in the scientific literature with regarding the association of milk minerals, and the milk microbiome with their collective impact on infant growth. This research aims to fill this gap by addressing: 1) the role of minerals on milk microbiome; and 2) the effect of milk microbiome variations, due to mineral, composition, in infant growth.
