The microbiota plays a key role in the physiology and maintenance of homeostasis in the child’s body. It is important to know the processes of formation of the intestinal microbiota that begin in utero. The baby continues to receive the mother’s microflora during childbirth and breastfeeding. The results of molecular genetic studies indicate that the most intensive process of microbial colonization of a child is associated with dietary habits. The main factor in maintaining the stability and resistance of normobiota is microbial autometabolites. The most promising areas of probiotic biotechnology and the development of metabolic probiotics (metabiotics), probiotics in combination with prebiotics (synbiotics) are considered. Understanding the processes of formation of intestinal microflora allows developing effective methods for the prevention and correction of microecological and motor disorders of the gastrointestinal tract in the age aspect.
