The aim of the study is to characterize and monitor the microbiome of premature infants born in the investigators facility until discharge from the NICU. The investigators will also examine the relationship between mode of delivery and the microbiome of the infant, while exploring various possible factors that may affect it. In addition, the investigators will compare the microbiome of premature infants to the microbiome of term babies born at the same time in the same facility.
