One such event taking place at McMaster University is the conference entitled “Women & Their Microbes”. An international conference looking at the microbiome or community of micro-organisms living in our body. Medical Clinicians will be sharing and learning how to help pregnant women manage these micro-organisms which can have an impact on the health of mom and baby.
