Scientists track preemie gut bugs to predict future health

NCT ID NCT02738411

Summary

This study aims to understand how the types of bacteria that first grow in a premature baby's gut might influence how their immune system develops by age 3. Researchers will follow 130 infants born before 33 weeks, collecting stool samples and tracking their health for three years. The goal is to learn if early gut bacteria patterns are linked to the child's future immune responses and health.
