Metagenomic analysis of vaginal microbiota at delivery outperforms traditional screening methods in identifying newborns at risk of early-onset sepsis ...

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 ...

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.

Study of 201 countries finds neonatal sepsis rates declining overall, but mortality tracks hunger and inequality, exposing persistent regional disparities.

CARB-X, a Boston University-led nonprofit that funds projects that focus on antimicrobial stewardship, awarded $467,000 to GlyProVac to develop a maternal vaccine that could prevent sepsis in infants, ...

New research from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) has shown gut and bloodstream infections are caused by the same bacteria, giving hope of better prevention and diagnosis of deadly ...

Sepsis continues to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized newborns and premature infants. The pathophysiology and disease state of sepsis appear to be similar between ...

Despite the mortality and long-term sequelae occurring secondary to neonatal meningitis, past studies have shown that lumbar punctures (LPs) are not done in neonates as often as they should be. This ...

A genetic signature in newborns can predict neonatal sepsis before symptoms even start to show, according to a new study. “Neonatal sepsis is caused by the body’s irregular response to a severe ...
