Question

Which of the following is not a mechanism for establishment of the microbiota of newborns?

Answer 1

Answer:

e. all of the above mechanisms for establishment of the microbiota in newborns

Explanation:

To a greater or lesser extent, all of the above contribute to the development of a newborn's microbiota.

Also to clarify, there is not only one microbiote. There is a digestive, an intestinal, pulmonary, etc...
