There appear to be significant differences in the composition of the intestinal microbiota of preterm compared to term infants, with decreased bacterial diversity, increased pathogens potentially related to NEC, and a surprising increase in eukaryotic and viral diversity (3,6,23-30). The differences in colonization of human milk-fed compared with formula-fed infants are believed due, in part, to breast milk inoculating the GIT with its own rich microbiome and abundant source of oligosaccharides that selectively stimulate the growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria (40, 41) .	./cache/cord-346214-8ev9w4ko.txt	./txt/cord-346214-8ev9w4ko.txt
