The Gut Microbiome of Premature Infants: An Ecological Analysis of a Probiotic Intervention Study
… used in extremely premature infants. The infant gut undergoes important developmental stages that are dependent upon the colonization with microorganism, beginning at birth 5. While it is well established that the premature gut microbiome exhibits profound alterations, the ecological patterns of …
