Clostridial Strain-Specific Characteristics Associated with Necrotizing Enterocolitis
17 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT We aimed at identifying potential bacterial factors linking clostridia with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). We compared the phenotypic traits, stress responses, cellular cytotoxicity, and inflammatory capabilities of the largest collection of Clostridium butyricum and Clostridium neonatale strains isolated from fecal samples of NEC preterm neonates (PN) and control PNs. When strain characteristics were...
