A new study found that a multifaceted infection prevention and control intervention could at least temporarily thwart ...

"Until meningitis is ruled out through lumbar puncture, septic very-low-birth-weight infants at high risk of mortality should receive empiric antimicrobials with high delivery through the blood-brain ...

Neonatal sepsis remains a critical condition in intensive care, characterised by a systemic infection that can lead to rapid clinical deterioration in newborns. Early identification is vital, and ...

Early-onset neonatal bacterial infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in preterm newborns. It is most often caused by ascending infection via the maternal genital tract.

A new study into sepsis in neonatal babies has uncovered the secrets of the bacteria’s success in causing this life-threatening condition. Using genomic sequencing, they have found how certain strains ...

A genetic signature in newborns can predict neonatal sepsis before symptoms even start to show, according to a new study. The study, led by University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University ...

Sepsis leads to life-threatening organ failure due to dysregulated host responses to infection and presents uniquely across age groups. Neonatal sepsis, affecting infants in their first 28 days, ...
