Distinct microbiota profiles in non-survivors in preterm infants with surgical necrotizing enterocolitis: Insights from FFPE intestinal tissue analysis
24 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background The variant microbiome is associated with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). We aimed to analyze remnant formalin fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) intestine tissue for microbiome profiling in preterm infants with surgical NEC. Methods We analyzed FFPE small intestine tissues from 16 infants with NEC (8 survivors and 8 non-survivors). Extracted DNA from FFPE tissue blocks underwent 16S rRNA sequencing. We...
