A prospective observational study on microbiological isolation in low‐profile gastrostomy's feeding extension sets in children on long‐term home enteral nutrition
Despite the high rate of microbial overgrowth in the LPG-FES, no patient had clinical symptoms of infection secondary to this finding. Microbiological isolation in FES may represent only a form of contamination without clinical implications, which raises doubts on possible LPG-FES dwell times.
