Formula alters preterm infant gut microbiota and increases its antibiotic resistance load
2019-09-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Infants are at a high risk of acquiring infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacterial strains. Antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) load is typically higher in newborns than in adults, but it is unknown which factors besides antibiotic treatment affect the load. Our study demonstrates that inclusion of any formula in the newborn diet causes shifts in microbial community composition that result...
