Improved feeding tolerance and growth are linked to increased gut microbial community diversity in very-low-birth-weight infants fed mother's own milk compared with donor breast milk/Experiment 1/Signature 2
Source: Figure 2C and Figure 2D
Description: (C) When comparing longitudinal changes across samples from all study subjects, increasing relative abundance of Proteobacteria was observed. There were no significant differences observed at the phylum level during the first 2 wk of life. By week 4, microbiota from the MOM cohort had significantly higher abundance of Actinobacteria (P = 0.032) and decreased abundance of Firmicutes (P = 0.011). (D) By week 4, microbiota from the MOM cohort had significantly increased abundance of Bacteroides (P = 0.046), Bifidobacterium (P = 0.026), and Enterococcus (P < 0.001) in comparison to the DM cohort. DM infants had significantly higher abundance of Staphylococcus (P = 0.014). DM, donor human milk; MOM, mother's own milk; PCoA, principal coordinates analysis.
Abundance in Group 1: decreased abundance in MOM (Mother's own milk)
