: The protocol of this study was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University (EC Numbers: 55-244-19-2-3 and 55-243-19-2-3). All infant’s parents provided verbal informed consent on behalf of the participating babies. The verbal consent was granted by the Ethics Committee because this research presented minimum risks to the participants. In addition, they were not identifiable from the data collected. Infants’ parents directly rung and handed the researcher to pick up the samples right after defecation or before breastfeeding (< 1 h) to prevent the samples from oxygen exposure for too long period.
