Preterm infant gut microbiota affects intestinal epithelial development in a humanized microbiome gnotobiotic mouse model

Abstract excerpt

Development of the infant small intestine is influenced by bacterial colonization. To promote establishment of optimal microbial communities in preterm infants, knowledge of the beneficial functions of the early gut microbiota on intestinal development is needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of early preterm infant microbiota on host gut development using a gnotobiotic mouse model....
