What is Distinct Gut Microbiota and Metabolite Profiles Induced by Different Feeding Methods in Healthy Chinese Infants about?

Human milk is closely correlated with infant gut microbiota and is important for infant development. However, most infants receive exclusively insufficient breast milk, and the discordance between effects of commercial formula and human milk exists. To elucidate the differences induced by various feeding methods, we determined microbiota and metabolites composition in fecal samples from 77 healthy infants in Northeast China and identified the differences in various feeding methods. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that the fecal samples of exclusively breastfed (BF) infants were abundant in __Bifidobacterium__ and __Lactobacillus__; the mixed-fed (MF) infants had the highest abundance of __Veillonella__ and __Klebsiella__; the exclusively formula-fed (FF) infants were enriched in __Bacteroides__ and __Blautia__; and the complementary food-fed (CF) infants were associated with higher relative abundance of __Lachnoclostridium__ and __Akkermansia__. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based metabolomics data revealed that the fecal samples of BF infants had the highest abundance of dl-citrulline, threonine, l-proline, l-glutamine, guanine, and l-argin
