Abstract
The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in neonatal health development. Preterm infants are predisposed to perturbation of the gut microbiome, which is associated with the risk of developing morbidities such as sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Therefore, probiotics have been introduced to preterm infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to confer health benefits. This study aims to investigate the types of probiotics supplemented to preterm infants from research published within the recent ten years (2012–2022) and collect evidence of the associated neonatal health benefits.
