Collection and Characterization of Premature Infants Feces for Identification of Factors Contributing to Skin Irritation
The primary objective of this study is to collect feces from premature infants over a five
weeks period to characterize its composition. Metabolomics, Proteomics, Genomics and
Microbiome analyses and cell-based assays will be performed to identify individual
components present in feces, which may contribute to the onset of irritation in the diapered
area of premature infants.
