Data from: C-section increases cecal abundance of the archetypal bile acid and glucocorticoid modifying Lachnoclostridium [Clostridium] scindens in mice

Statistics summary of cecal microbiota taxa patterns, derived from cecal contents of 3 wk old male and female mice.

Cesarian section births are commonplace in many countries, but the physiological ramifications for offspring born to C-section are not fully elaborated. One aspect that is believed to change is the composition of the naturally-occurring bacteria in the gut, the ‘gut microbiota.’ However, it is not yet clear if birth mode per se causes changes in the gut microbiota and their activities, or if additional factors such as environment, diet, or genetics play a more important role. To address this, in the current study in mice, as many variables as possible were controlled in order to understand if C-section inherently leads to bacterial species changes in the lower intestine. The dataset represents the statistical comparisons between C-section and vaginal birth offspring at 3 wk of age.
