The purpose of this scoping review was to examine the oral microbiome composition in preterm infants, sampling and collection methods, as well as exposures associated with oral microbiome composition and health implications. We conducted a scoping review of the literature using the Arskey and O'Malley framework. We identified a total of 13 articles which met our inclusion criteria and purpose of this scoping review.

- Preterm very low birth weight (VLBW) infants are at risk for intestinal issues, and this study aimed to see if race, sex, and socioeconomic status affect their early intestinal microbiome development.
- The research analyzed stool samples from 79 VLBW infants over the first four weeks of life, using advanced sequencing methods to assess the gut bacteria present.
- Findings showed no significant differences in gut microbiome diversity based on race, sex, or insurance type, suggesting that these sociodemographic factors have a limited impact on early microbial colonization, highlighting the need for further research.
