Over the past two decades, gut microbiota has demonstrated unprecedented potential in human diseases and health. The gut microbiota in early life is crucial for later health outcomes. This study aims to reveal the knowledge collaboration network, research hotspots, and explore the emerging trends in the fields of infant and gut microbiome using bibliometric analysis.
We searched the literature on infant and gut microbiome in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database from 2004 to 2024. CiteSpace V (version: 6.3.R1) and VOSview (version: 1.6.20) were used to display the top authors, journals, institutions, countries, authors, keywords, co-cited articles, and potential trends.
A total of 9,899 documents were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. The United States, China, and Italy were the three most productive countries with 3,163, 1,510, and 660 publications. The University of California System was the most prolific institution (524 publications). Van Sinderen, Douwe from University College Cork of Ireland was the most impactful author. Many studies have focused on atopic dermatitis (AD), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), as well as the immune mechanisms and microbial treatments for these diseases, such as probiotic strains mixtures and human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The mother-to-infant microbiome transmission, chain fatty acids, and butyrate maybe the emerging trends.
This study provided an overview of the knowledge structure of infant and gut microbiome, as well as a reference for future research.
在过去二十年中，肠道微生物群在人类疾病和健康方面展现出了前所未有的潜力。生命早期的肠道微生物群对后期的健康结果至关重要。本研究旨在通过文献计量分析揭示婴儿与肠道微生物组领域的知识合作网络、研究热点，并探索新兴趋势。
我们在科学网核心合集（WOSCC）数据库中检索了2004年至2024年关于婴儿与肠道微生物组的文献。使用CiteSpace V（版本：6.3.R1）和VOSview（版本：1.6.20）展示顶尖作者、期刊、机构、国家、作者、关键词、共被引文章及潜在趋势。
从科学网核心合集中共检索到9899篇文献。美国、中国和意大利是发文量最多的三个国家，分别有3163篇、1510篇和660篇出版物。加利福尼亚大学系统是发文量最多的机构（524篇出版物）。爱尔兰科克大学学院的杜威·范·辛德伦是最具影响力的作者。许多研究聚焦于特应性皮炎（AD）坏死性小肠结肠炎（NEC），以及这些疾病的免疫机制和微生物治疗方法，如益生菌菌株混合物和人乳寡糖（HMOs）。母婴微生物组传播、链脂肪酸和丁酸盐可能是新兴趋势。
本研究概述了婴儿与肠道微生物组的知识结构，为未来研究提供了参考。
