Hospitalized premature infants are colonized by related bacterial strains with distinct proteomic profiles
2017-11-10
Abstract excerpt
During the first weeks of life, microbial colonization of the gut impacts human immune system maturation and other developmental processes. In premature infants, aberrant colonization has been implicated in the onset of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a life-threatening intestinal disease. To study the premature infant gut colonization process, genome-resolved metagenomics was conducted on 343 fecal samples colle...
