This study isolates and characterizes virulent bacteriophages targeting Enterobacteriaceae from preterm piglets with NEC-like inflammation, showing their potential for phage therapy.

The paper shows that boosting TCA cycle activity through nutritional strategies improves neonatal host defense against infection by enhancing disease tolerance and resistance.

This study shows that active donor virome in fecal filtrate transfer reduces NEC severity in preterm piglets, while inactivated virome abolishes these protective effects.

This study shows that chemostat culturing reduces eukaryotic virus load in fecal viromes and delays diarrhea in preterm piglets, but does not prevent NEC and reduces microbiome effects.
