However, mothers delivering by caesarean section routinely receive prophylactic antibiotics prior to delivery, resulting in antibiotic exposure to the infant via the placenta. Previously, only a small number of studies have examined the effect of delivery mode versus antibiotic exposure on the infant gut microbiome with mixed findings.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Objective.<\/jats:bold> We aimed to determine the effect of delivery mode compared to antibiotic use during labour and delivery on the infant and maternal gut microbiome at 6\u2009weeks post-partum.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Methodology.<\/jats:bold> Twenty-five mother\u2013infant dyads were selected from the longitudinal Queensland Family Cohort Study. The selected dyads comprised nine vaginally delivered infants without antibiotics, seven vaginally delivered infants exposed to antibiotics and nine infants born by caesarean section with routine maternal prophylactic antibiotics. Shotgun-metagenomic sequencing of DNA from stool samples collected at 6\u2009weeks post-partum from mother and infant was used to assess microbiome composition.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Results.<\/jats:bold> Caesarean section infants exhibited decreases in <jats:italic>Bacteroidetes<\/jats:italic> (ANCOM-BC <jats:italic>q<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.0001, MaAsLin 2 <jats:italic>q<\/jats:italic>=0.041), changes to several functional pathways and altered beta diversity (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n                  <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>=0.056, <jats:italic>P=<\/jats:italic>0.029), while minimal differences due to antibiotic exposure were detected. For mothers, caesarean delivery (<jats:italic>P=<\/jats:italic>0.0007) and antibiotic use (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.016) decreased the evenness of the gut microbiome at 6\u2009weeks post-partum without changing beta diversity. Several taxa in the maternal microbiome were altered in association with antibiotic use, with few differentially abundant taxa associated with delivery mode.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusion.<\/jats:bold> For infants, delivery mode appears to have a larger effect on gut microbiome composition at 6\u2009weeks post-partum than intrapartum antibiotic exposure.
