Gut Pathogen Colonization: A Risk Factor to Bloodstream Infections in Preterm Neonates Admitted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit – A Prospective Cohort Study
This study provides strong evidence for the association between gut pathogen colonization and BSI development in preterm neonates in NICUs. Gut microbiota modulation may serve as preventive strategy against BSIs, emphasizing the need for further research in this area to improve outcomes in vulnerable population.
