      <STUDY_ABSTRACT>We have developed a high-throughput culture-independent approach that integrates room surveys based on full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences with metagenomic analysis of fecal samples collected from infants in the room. The approach enabled identification of discrete ICU reservoirs of microbes that also colonized the infant gut and provided evidence for the presence of certain organisms in the room prior to their detection in the gut.  Gut metagenomes from two premature infants based on fresh fecal samples were collected every three days in a hospital intensive care unit.</STUDY_ABSTRACT>
