Abstract
Jacob Westaway investigated the gut microbiome of preterm infants born in North Queensland, Australia. He observed unique associations between the gut microbiome and the unfavourable covariates, as well as acute modulation in association with probiotic prophylaxis. This supports expansion of the probiotic supplementation criteria and highlights the importance of the microbiome in health.
