Abstrakt: The study explores the long-term effects of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) on gut microbiota in preterm infants by analyzing stool samples from 5-year-old children using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. It compares children with a history of NEC, treated surgically or medically, to preterm controls without NEC. Findings reveal persistent gut microbiota dysbiosis in NEC children, with reduced species diversity and evenness, especially in those treated surgically. The surgical NEC group had a lower Shannon index, indicating less microbial diversity. Significant differences in taxonomic profiles were observed, mainly influenced by surgical treatment. These results underscore the lasting impact of NEC and its treatment on gut microbiota, suggesting a need for strategies addressing long-term dysbiosis.
