NCT06850896

Brief Summary

This prospective cohort study aims to investigate the impact of early antibiotic exposure on the establishment of gut microbiota and motility in newborns, particularly preterm infants. The study will explore the correlation between antibiotic exposure, gut microbiota colonization, and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels, which are critical for gastrointestinal motility. The findings may provide insights into optimizing antibiotic use and improving gastrointestinal health in neonates.
