The Gut Resistome Atlas in Preterm Infants Enables Prediction of Necrotizing Enterocolitis Onset
The gut resistome of preterm infants and its clinical relevance remain poorly understood. This study performs in‐depth integrative analyses of 5,684 gut metagenomes from preterm infants, uncovering distinct features that diverge from term infants. Notably, the gut resistome of preterm infants converges 9 days before necrotizing enterocolitis onset ...

Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 metabolises the human milk oligosaccharides lacto-N-tetraose and lacto-N-neo-tetraose through overlapping, yet distinct pathways [PDF]
In this study, we demonstrate that the prototype B. breve strain UCC2003 possesses specific metabolic pathways for the utilisation of lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) and lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT), which represent the central moieties of Type I and Type II human ...
