Condition The experimental condition / phenotype studied according to the Experimental Factor Ontology
Delivery measurement Delivery measurement,delivery measurement
Group 0 name Corresponds to the control (unexposed) group for case-control studies
Babies delivered vaginally sampled during the neonatal period on day 4 (n = 310)
Group 1 name Corresponds to the case (exposed) group for case-control studies
Babies delivered by caesarean section sampled during the neonatal period on day 4 (n = 310)
Group 1 definition Diagnostic criteria applied to define the specific condition / phenotype represented in the case (exposed) group
Babies delivered by caesarean section were deprived of maternally transmitted commensal bacteria but had a substantially higher relative abundance of opportunistic pathogens commonly associated with the hospital environment.
Group 1 sample size Number of subjects in the case (exposed) group
282
