| Abstract | In this dissertation, we seek to understand health after preterm birth from a gut microbiota perspective. Neonatal antibiotic exposure and fecal metabolic and microbial changes were examined as potential risk factors for acute and chronic conditions after preterm birth. In addition, techniques for fecal odor analysis and spatial orientation of gut bacteria were explored in preterm infants. Our results might contribute to strategies to predict, prevent, recognize and treat necrotising enterocolitis, neonatal sepsis and meningitis, and long-term non-communicable diseases. |
