Metagenomic insights of the infant microbiome community structure and function across multiple sites in the United States

Abstract The gut microbiome plays an important role in early life, protecting newborns from enteric pathogens, promoting immune system development and providing key functions to the infant host. Currently, there are limited data to broadly assess the status of the US healthy infant gut microbiome. T...
