Gut bacteria are rarely shared by co-hospitalized premature infants, regardless of necrotizing enterocolitis development

Gut bacteria are rarely shared by co-hospitalized premature infants, regardless of necrotizing enterocolitis development

Premature infants are highly vulnerable to aberrant gastrointestinal tract colonization, a process that may lead to diseases like necrotizing enterocolitis. Thus, spread of potential pathogens among hospitalized infants is of great concern. Here, we reconstructed hundreds of high-quality genomes of...
