Fig. 7

Vancomycin-induced dysbiosis reduces intestinal glucose availability and alters placental carbohydrate metabolism causing a reduction of NK cells metabolic fuel availability. Such a shift directly impacts NK cell vascularization and angiogenic capacity, causing impairment of placental development and fetal resorption.
