Summary (AI generated)

An effect on phage populations could also be observed. Breastfeeding is known to promote the growth of various bacterial lineages in infants, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, along with their associated phages. This suggests that breastfeeding may also have an impact on phages.
