Longitudinal dynamics of the maternal gut virome associate with metabolic features of preterm birth [PDF]
Preterm birth (PTB) remains a major pregnancy complication, yet the role of the maternal gut virome in its etiology is largely unknown. Here we show that the maternal gut virome undergoes ecological destabilization prior to PTB, coupled with distinct ...
