Preterm infants / Preterm labor (PL)

Aberrant assembly of the gut microbiota in preterm infants predisposes them to early-life disorders and persistent health problems. Key findings include:

• Microbial Colonization: Enterobacteriaceae, enterococci, and staphylococci primarily exploit available niches to populate the gut microbiota.


• Persistence of Lineages: Clostridioides difficile lineages persist between individuals within single centers, while Staphylococcus epidermidis lineages persist both within and unexpectedly between centers.


• Influence of Medicat…
