The Impact of Interventions to Prevent Neonatal Healthcare-associated Infections in Low- and Middle-income Countries: A Systematic Review

Felicity C. Fitzgerald et al.

Summary: Limited evidence suggests that bundled interventions targeting device-associated infections are most effective in preventing hospital-acquired bloodstream infections in neonatal units in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).

Infection prevention and care bundles addressing health care-associated infections in neonatal care in low-middle income countries: a scoping review

Alexandra Molina Garcia et al.

Summary: This scoping review collected literature on infection prevention and care bundles in neonatal units in LMICs, constructed a classification framework, and found that primary prevention is the most important element, while detection is lacking.

Detection of mobile genetic elements associated with antibiotic resistance in Salmonella enterica using a newly developed web tool: MobileElementFinder

Markus H. K. Johansson et al.

Summary: The study reveals that antimicrobial resistance in clinically relevant bacteria is a global public health threat. The MobileElementFinder tool enables rapid detection of MGEs and their genetic context, providing insights into bacterial spread and genetic variability potential.

Global incidence and mortality of neonatal sepsis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Carolin Fleischmann et al.

Summary: The study found that neonatal sepsis is common and often fatal, especially with early-onset sepsis having higher incidence and mortality rates. Existing studies show significant heterogeneity, emphasizing the need to strengthen epidemiological research, harmonize definitions of neonatal sepsis, and improve research quality in this field.

Group B Streptococcal Colonization in African Countries: Prevalence, Capsular Serotypes, and Molecular Sequence Types

Sarah Shabayek et al.

Summary: Streptococcus agalactiae or group B streptococcus (GBS) is a significant pathogen globally and represents a high disease burden in Africa. Investigations in different African countries show that while some serotypes and MLST data are similar to other continents, there are also specific differences, with serotype V being predominant in maternal strains in many African countries.

Characterization of antimicrobial-resistant Gram-negative bacteria that cause neonatal sepsis in seven low- and middle-income countries

Kirsty Sands et al.

Summary: The BARNARDS study analyzed bacterial isolates from neonates with sepsis in LMICs, showing antimicrobial-resistant Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter as main species. Antimicrobial resistance is rising in neonatal sepsis, with poorly understood mechanisms that limit treatment options in LMICs.

Effects of antibiotic resistance, drug target attainment, bacterial pathogenicity and virulence, and antibiotic access and affordability on outcomes in neonatal sepsis: an international microbiology and drug evaluation prospective substudy (BARNARDS)

Kathryn M. Thomson et al.

Summary: When advocating antibiotic treatments, accessibility and affordability must be considered, tailored to the variance in economic health structures across low- and middle-income countries.
