BM Collection From NICU Infants for Composition

August 15, 2017 updated by: Kimberly-Clark Corporation

Collection and Characterization of Premature Infants Feces for Identification of Factors Contributing to Skin Irritation

The primary objective of this study is to collect feces from premature infants over a five weeks period to characterize its composition. Metabolomics, Proteomics, Genomics and Microbiome analyses and cell-based assays will be performed to identify individual components present in feces, which may contribute to the onset of irritation in the diapered area of premature infants.
