Happy to share our most recent publication on the preterm infant gut #microbiome!
What impact do #probiotics have during admission?
Should the #NICU probiotic criteria be expanded?

Thirty-six-year-old Robin Balo is bleeding out. His friend has two hands pushed against his thigh, trying to stem the flow of blood from his femoral artery. His wife strokes his head, begging him not to die, as health workers run to set up a surgery. https://t.co/sfUyFp658b

Deeeeep breath. Some bacteria have new phylum names and it's going to be confusing for a while!

🧵A thread of resources for getting up to speed on the changes...
