Influence of Infant Feeding Type on Gut Microbiome Development in Hospitalized Preterm Infants

摘要

BackgroundPremature infants have a high risk for dysbiosis of the gut microbiome. Mother’s own breastmilk (MOM) has been found to favorably alter gut microbiome composition in infants born at term. Evidence about the influence of feeding type on gut microbial colonization of preterm infants is limited.
