Analysis of microbial communities by shotgun metagenomics between two weeks of life and NEC diagnosis demonstrate functional distinction. Shotgun metagenomes generated from twin patients at times prior to NEC diagnosis (only one of the twins went on to be diagnosed with NEC; labeled ‘pre-NEC’). An expansion of the Proteobacteria is noted in the patient that went on to develop NEC.
