A disordered intestinal microbiome is thought to be a risk factor for NEC. Probiotics are live microorganisms administered as food supplements or as pharmaceuticals in an attempt to improve human health. If the intestine of a preterm infant could be deliberately colonized with non-pathogenic organisms administered as a probiotic, the risk of NEC may decrease (1).},
