Characterization of gut microbiota in very low birth weight infants with versus without bronchopulmonary dysplasia
The alpha and beta diversities of the gut microbiota did not differ significantly between the BPD and non-BPD groups. However, in terms of relative abundance, the presence of common respiratory pathogens was notable in the BPD group. Conversely, the non-BPD group had a significantly higher prevalence of anaerobic taxa known for their capacity to produce butyrate, a key component of postbiotics.
