Popis: Abstract Background Intestinal dysbiosis is implicated in the origins of necrotising enterocolitis and late-onset sepsis in preterm babies. However, the effect of modulators of bacterial growth (e.g. antibiotics) upon the developing microbiome is not well-characterised. In this prospectively-recruited, retrospectively-classified, case–control study, high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing was combined with contemporaneous clinical data collection, to assess the within-subject relationship between antibiotic administration and microbiome development, in comparison to preterm infants with minimal antibiotic exposure. Results During courses of antibiotics, diversity progression fell in comparison to that seen outside periods of antibiotic use (-0.71units/week vs. + 0.63units/week, p
