Early infancy is critical for the development of an infant's gut flora. Many factors can influence
microbiota development during the pre-and postnatal periods, including maternal factors …

Objective: An increasing number of studies that are using high-throughput molecular
methods are rapidly extending our knowledge of gut microbial colonization in preterm …

The premature infant gut microbiome plays an important part in infant health and
development, and recognition of the implications of microbial dysbiosis in premature infants …

Gut microbiota plays a key role in multiple aspects of human health and disease, particularly
in early life. Distortions of the gut microbiota have been found to correlate with fatal diseases …

During the first weeks of life, microbial colonization of the gut impacts human immune
system maturation and other developmental processes. In premature infants, aberrant …

Preterm infants exhibit different microbiome colonization patterns relative to full-term infants,
and it is speculated that the hospital room environment may contribute to infant microbiome …
