Abstract

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a cause of death among premature babies, has defied therapeutics for decades. Bacterial analyses have expanded insights into NEC pathophysiology and roles of the gut microbiome. We discuss the contribution of the gut microbiome and potential therapeutics, notably lactadherin, that may promote gut homeostasis to alleviate NEC.
