Dataset of establishment of gut microbiota: Molecular analysis of a cohort of 29 preterm Moroccan newborns.

ABSTRACT: The initial colonization of the intestine represents one of the most profound immunological exposures faced by the newborn. During the first three years of life, the intestinal microbial composition undergoes significant changes. At birth, the digestive tract is rapidly colonized by microorganisms of maternal and environmental origins. Microbiota's composition is influenced by various factors, including the mode of delivery, gestational age, type of feeding, and medication use. Through the current study, we specifically focused on elucidating the dynamics of gut microbiota colonization within the first three weeks of life of infants, shedding light on this critical phase of development. A prospective cohort study involving 29 preterm infants was conducted from January to September 2021 at
