Background Gut bacteria might predispose to or protect from necrotising enterocolitis, a
severe illness linked to prematurity. In this observational prospective study we aimed to …

Necrotizing enterocolitis remains an intractable consequence of preterm birth. Gut microbial
communities, especially bacterial communities, have long been suspected to play a role in …

Aim Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) represents one of the gravest complications in
premature infants. The suggested role of intestinal microbiota in the development of NEC …

Background and aims Evidence suggests that microbial communities in the preterm gut may
influence the development of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) and sepsis. Existing data often …

Background Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a catastrophic disease of preterm infants, and
microbial dysbiosis has been implicated in its pathogenesis. Studies evaluating the …

Aim: To describe gut colonization in preterm infants using standard culture and 16S gene
rRNA profiling, exploring differences in healthy infants and those who developed NEC/late …

Late-onset sepsis (LOS) and necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) account for the highest number
of deaths in premature infants and often cause severe morbidity in survivors. NEC is an …

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is among the most severe conditions that can affect preterm
infants. Although the etiology of NEC remains unknown, initial bacterial colonization could …

Despite increased efforts, the diverse etiologies of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) have
remained largely elusive. Clinical predictors of NEC remain ill-defined and currently lack …

Background. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating inflammatory bowel disease of
premature infants speculatively associated with infection. Suspected NEC can be …
