Infant gut strain persistence is associated with maternal origin, phylogeny, and traits including surface adhesion and iron acquisition

Summary: Gut microbiome succession affects infant development. However, it remains unclear what factors promote persistence of initial bacterial colonizers in the developing gut. Here, we perform strain-resolved analyses to compare gut colonization of preterm and full-term infants throughout the fir...
