Defining the Intestinal Microbiota in Premature Neonates
The Microbiota of the Premature Neonatal Gastrointestinal Tract: Its Development and Relation to Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Bloodstream Infection
Studieöversikt
Status
Detaljerad beskrivning
Highly premature infants are susceptible to serious infections such as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and late-onset blood stream infections (BSIs).
NEC is a poorly understood, potentially life-threatening bowel disorder. It is thought that bacteria proliferating abnormally in the bowel may play an important part in its cause, but no single pathogen has yet been identified.
BSIs are commonly caused by gut bacteria. As the highly premature gut is fragile and has increased permeability, poor motility and decreased immune defences, localised inflammation caused by abnormal bacterial growth may allow 'bystander' microbes to translocate through the gut into the blood stream leading to systemic infection.
In a small proportion of infants who develop NEC, surgery will be required as part of treatment of the condition. In these infants the investigators will seek consent to collect a small part of the diseased bowel which has been removed. Similar analysis will be performed on these samples. The analysis of the tissue samples will give us an indication of how well the faeces act as a proxy for the intestinal microbiota.
In this ecological study of the evolution of the intestinal microbiota in preterm infants, by comparing samples from babies who develop NEC or late-onset BSI with those of well babies the investigators will be able to look for differences characteristic of the conditions. This information will help aid design of prevention or treatment strategies.

---|---|---|
The Composition of Bacteria Present, Established by Ultra-deep RNA Gene Sequencing, in Pre-morbid Faecal Samples From Neonates With Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Late-onset Bacterial Sepsis.
Tidsram: Maximum of 6 months - serial samples collected from each infant (maximum admission duration 6 months), recruitment opened for 24 months.
|
Faecal samples were analysed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing to determine the bacterial content present in faecal samples collected from pre term infants prior to the onset of necrotising enterocolitis. Bacteria were identified and relative proportions reported for each faecal sample analysed. |
Maximum of 6 months - serial samples collected from each infant (maximum admission duration 6 months), recruitment opened for 24 months.
