Environmental exposures substantially influence the infant gut microbiome. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Thänert et al.¹ characterize how medical interventions in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) shape gut microbiome dynamics in the first months of life by analyzing over 2,500 fecal samples with metagenomics and metatranscriptomics.

住院使早产肠道微生物组偏离了关键


环境暴露对婴儿肠道微生物组有很大影响。在本期的Cell Host & Microbe中，Thänert等人1通过分析超过2,500个粪便样本和宏转录组学，描述了新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）的医疗干预如何塑造生命最初几个月的肠道微生物组动态。
