Is meconium from healthy newborns actually sterile?
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Bacteria were able to be isolated from umbilical cord blood of healthy neonates and from murine amniotic fluid obtained by caesarean section and suggested that term fetuses are not completely sterile and that a prenatal mother-to-child efflux of commensal bacteria may exist.
