Abstract

Our understanding of the premature gut microbiome has increased rapidly in recent years. However, to advance this important topic we must further explore various aspects of the maternal microbiome, neonatal microbiota, and the opportunities for microbiome modulation. We invite authors to contribute research and clinical papers to the Collection "Maternal-fetal-neonatal microbiome and outcomes associated with prematurity".
