Summary

This study tests whether giving a daily probiotic mixture for 6 months can improve brain development in preterm infants who received antibiotics after birth. Researchers will enroll 116 babies and measure their developmental scores, gut bacteria changes, and inflammation markers. The goal is to see if remodeling the gut microbiome early in life leads to better neurodevelopmental outcomes.
