Meconium Microbiome Analysis Identifies Bacteria Correlated with Premature Birth

10 Mar 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is the second leading cause of death in children under the age of five years worldwide, but the etiology of many cases remains enigmatic. The dogma that the fetus resides in a sterile environment is being challenged by recent findings and the question has arisen whether microbes that colonize the fetus may be related to preterm birth. It has been posited that meconium reflects the...
