Dynamics of toxigenic Clostridium perfringens colonisation in a cohort of prematurely born neonatal infants

2020-02-05

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Clostridium perfringens forms part of the human gut microbiota and has been associated with life-threatening necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants. Whether specific toxigenic strains are responsible is unknown, as is the extent of diversity of strains in healthy premature babies. We investigated the C. perfringens carrier status of premature infants in the neon...
