Time series community genomics analysis reveals rapid shifts in bacterial species, strains, and phage during infant gut colonization
The gastrointestinal microbiome undergoes shifts in species and strain abundances, yet
dynamics involving closely related microorganisms remain largely unknown because most …

Rapid evolution and strain turnover in the infant gut microbiome
DW Chen, NR Garud - Genome Research, 2022 - genome.cshlp.org
Although the ecological dynamics of the infant gut microbiome have been intensely studied,
relatively little is known about evolutionary dynamics in the infant gut microbiome. Here we …

Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene and metagenome sequencing in pediatric gut microbiomes
The colonization of the human gut microbiome begins at birth, and over time, these microbial
communities become increasingly complex. Most of what we currently know about the …

Succession of microbial consortia in the developing infant gut microbiome
JE Koenig, A Spor, N Scalfone… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
The colonization process of the infant gut microbiome has been called chaotic, but this view
could reflect insufficient documentation of the factors affecting the microbiome. We …

Natural history of the infant gut microbiome and impact of antibiotic treatment on bacterial strain diversity and stability
The gut microbial community is dynamic during the first 3 years of life, before stabilizing to
an adult-like state. However, little is known about the impact of environmental factors on the …
