Emerging evidence suggests that maternal diet is a major regulator of these microbiota-related changes and may influence maternal\u2013fetal health through microbial metabolites and host signaling pathways. Fermented foods and functional dietary components, including prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, and polyphenols, have gained increasing attention because of their potential to modulate gut microbial diversity, intestinal barrier integrity, inflammatory responses, and metabolic homeostasis. Mechanistically, these effects are mediated through pathways involving short-chain fatty acids, G protein-coupled receptors, nuclear factor kappa B signaling, histone deacetylase inhibition, and immune cell regulation. Altered microbiota-associated signaling has been linked to gestational metabolic disorders such as obesity, gestational diabetes mellitus, and preeclampsia, as well as fetal immune and metabolic programming. Particular emphasis is placed on the maternal\u2013infant microbiome axis, highlighting how maternal nutrition and microbiota-mediated signaling may influence microbial transmission, fetal programming, and early-life microbiome development. This review summarizes current evidence regarding pregnancy-associated gut microbiota alterations and discusses the molecular mechanisms through which fermented foods and functional nutrition may influence maternal and fetal health outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27146488","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]],"date-time":"2026-07-21T15:17:52Z","timestamp":1784647072000},"page":"6488","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Fermented Foods, Functional Nutrition, and Maternal Gut Microbiota During Pregnancy: Molecular Mechanisms and the Maternal\u2013Infant Microbiome Axis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8925-2586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tu\u011fba","family":"K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fckkasap","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, G\u00fclhane Health Sciences Faculty, University of Health Sciences, 06018 Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-7262-7948","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Asmin","family":"Yavuz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, G\u00fclhane Health Sciences Institute, University of Health Sciences, 06018 Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-1211-2841","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00d6zde","family":"Kuran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, G\u00fclhane Health Sciences Institute, University of Health Sciences, 06018 Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1038\/s41575-023-00864-2","article-title":"The maternal gut microbiome in pregnancy: Implications for the developing immune system","volume":"21","author":"Koren","year":"2024","journal-title":"Nat.
