Brief Summary  

The purpose of this study is to study the colonization pattern of preterm neonates of gestation age <34 weeks, in the first 28 days of life of neonates to determine key insights into the onset of sepsis development, impact, and recovery. Further study aims to determine the effect of antimicrobial therapy in gut colonization and antimicrobial resistance development.

Scientific Hypothesis:

H1: The association between microbiome and host: whether the composition of the microbiome or “dysbiotic” microbiome is linked to neonatal sepsis and antibiotic resistance.

H2: Whether microbiome is associated with biological covariates, the impact of mode of delivery on the microbiome, influence of feeding practice in IUGR (Intrauterine growth restriction) preterm with and without neonatal sepsis.
