<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> colonization and bloodstream infection in very preterm infants
Our study demonstrates that metagenomic quantification of pathobionts such as <i>S. aureus</i> in intestinal samples provides a stronger predictor of colonization than culture. Future prevention strategies should focus on promoting S. aureus colonization resistance through microbiome-informed approaches.
