Clinical characteristics influence cultivable-bacteria composition in the meconium of Indonesian neonates.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Microbial colonization of a neonate's gastrointestinal tract has significant perinatal and lifetime health consequences. However, information regarding the profile of meconium microbiota in neonates and the influence of clinical parameters are lacking in the Indonesian population. This study aimed to preliminary investigate the profile of cultivable bacterial diversity of meconium isolated from neonates born at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (CMH), Jakarta. The cultivable bacteria were isolated from meconium samples and were then processed for cultivation and molecular identification.

Results

Fourteen neonates were enrolled as described, i.e., seven hyperbilirubinemia (Hyp) and seven non-Hyp with ten neonates delivered by cesarean section (CS) and four others by vagi
