Optimisation of 16S rRNA gut microbiota profiling of extremely low birth weight infants

Abstract Background Infants born prematurely, particularly extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW) have altered gut microbial communities. Factors such as maternal health, gut immaturity, delivery mode, and antibiotic treatments are associated with microbiota disturbances, and are linked to an inc...
