The human microbiome has emerged as a critical factor in human health. Many of the differences in the microbiome are attributed to early life events, making study of the microbiome during infancy and childhood a public health priority. In this presentation, a current state of the science on the factors influencing the establishment of the microbiome during infancy and early childhood will be presented, with a specific focus on infants who are born preterm.
Learning Objectives:
