This dataset contains the output from shotgun metagenomic and genomic sequencing of the microbiota of faecal samples collected from infants prior to developing necrotising enterocolitis (NEC).. Metagenomic analysis of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC)

This study describes the use of shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise the microbiota of faecal samples collected from infants prior to developing necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) and from matched controls. Additional genomic sequencing of select enterobacteriaceal isolates cultured from these samples was also performed.

本研究采用霰弹枪宏基因组测序（shotgun metagenomic sequencing）技术，对即将罹患坏死性小肠结肠炎（necrotising enterocolitis, NEC）的婴儿粪便样本中的微生物群进行表征，并以匹配对照婴儿的粪便样本作为对照。此外，本研究还对从上述样本中分离培养的特定肠杆菌科（Enterobacteriaceae）分离菌株进行了额外的基因组测序。
