Microbiota of preterm infant is associated with practices and two-year outcome

In very preterm infants, gut microbiota is highly variable with major dysbiosis. Its relationship with short-term health is widely studied, but the relationship with the long-term remains unknown.Our objective was to investigate in preterm neonates the associations between gut microbiota, practice strategies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and outcomes at two-year.
