Deep 16S rRNA metagenomics and quantitative PCR analyses of the premature infant fecal microbiota

Silvia Arboleya et al. Anaerobe. 2012 Jun.

Abstract

Metagenomic studies on the gut microbiota of preterm infants are scarce. We characterized the microbiota of 10 days-old neonates by deep 16S rRNA gene metagenomic analysis and compare the results with those obtained by qPCR. Both techniques lead to similar conclusions, allowing differentiating between preterm and full-term infants.
