6. Every bug counts : neonatal colonization and infection of Gram-negative bacilli : aspects on antibiotic resistance in Sweden and Ecuador
Abstract : Neonatal infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Gramnegative bacilli are associated with high morbidity and mortality. In order to perform targeted preventive interventions against the impacts of antibiotic resistance in neonates, it is crucial to study colonization, infection and the spread of EPE-bacteria.

7. Neonatal respiratory control : inspiration, inflammation and the prostaglandin E2 pathway
Abstract : Immature or deficient autonomic control is a common problem in infants born at a premature age, and is of central importance in apneas. The pre- and perinatal development of the brainstem neural circuits that control autonomic functions is vital for survival after birth and for the regulation of breathing movements. READ MORE

8. Coagulase-negative staphylococci septicaemia in newborns : aspects on host-bacterial interactions with special regard to neutrophil and endothelial response
Abstract : Newborn infants, especially those born preterm, are immunologically immature and prone to invasive infections. As a result of the increasing survival of very preterm (VPT < 31 weeks gestational age) newborns, nosocomial septicaemia has become a major concern the neonatal intensive care, and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are nowadays the most frequently isolated pathogens in neonatal blood cultures.

9. Infant microbiota and short chain fatty acids - relation to lifestyle and effect on health
Abstract : The commensal microbiota has both beneficial and negative effects on the host. It is a source of infectious and inflammatory microorganisms, but may also provide immune stimulation during a critical period during early infancy that possibly offers protection against allergy and other immune mediated diseases.

10. Perinatal Staphylococcus epidermidis infection and the immature brain: a neuroinflammatory link
Abstract : Preterm birth and its associated complications are among the most serious global health issues that modern society faces. Due to the prolonged medical care and immature immune system, preterm infants have a higher susceptibility to infections, which puts them at a higher risk of developing neurological impairments as well as neurodevelopmental diseases.
