Impact of early life antibiotic and probiotic treatment on gut microbiome and resistome of very-low-birth-weight preterm infants

2024-12-20

Abstract excerpt

Preterm infants (<37 weeks’ gestation) are often administered broad-spectrum antibiotics in hospitals due to their vulnerability to severe morbidity, including necrotising enterocolitis and sepsis. However, antibiotics can disrupt the development of early-life microbiota, potentially impairing gut immunity and colonisation resistance.
