HMGB1- An Immunotherapeutic Target for the Treatment of Neonatal Sepsis and Associated Neuroinflammation
Neonatal sepsis remains one of the leading causes of death in the neonatal intensive care unit. Preterm infants and infants with very low birthweight are at increased risk of sepsis and its associated morbidities. Whilst developments in supportive care and antimicrobial advancements have decreased …

Common bacteria causes of neonatal sepsis and antimicrobial susceptibility at the university teaching hospital, Lusaka, Zambia?
… where possible, can all help lower the chance of neonatal sepsis. However, neonatal sepsis remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among neonates, responsible for 30- 50% of the total neonatal deaths in low-and middle-income countries. The incidence and mortality of neonatal …

Neonatal Sepsis And Antibiotic Sensitivity Patterns At A South African Tertiary Nursery – Evolution Over A 15 Year Period
Background Neonatal infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in babies. The causative pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns should be monitored so that treatment regimens can be adjusted to maintain efficacy and avoid selection of resistant organisms. Objectives …

A comparison of standard C-reactive protein laboratory measurement to point of care C-reactive protein test in a neonatal intensive care unit setting
… adjuncts to clinical data in diagnosing neonatal sepsis. Available diagnostic tests often provide results 6 to 48 hours later. A bedside C-reactive protein (CRP) test may be able to exclude or diagnose sepsis within minutes. Objectives: The objectives were to validate the Alere AfinionTM …

Antibiotic use in a level three NICU in South Africa
… are the most commonly used medications in the neonatal intensive care unit, and when used appropriately, can be lifesaving in the NICU. However, their inappropriate use has been found to be associated with certain adverse effects like Late Onset Sepsis, Necrotizing Enterocolitis, Chronic lung …

Development of dissolving and hydrogel-forming microneedles for delivery of vancomycin hydrochloride
… and potentially deadly infections, including neonatal sepsis. Vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic, remains the most effective antibiotic to treat this condition. In the case of systemic diseases, vancomycin must be administered via intravenous injection. However, administration of vancomycin …

Midline Catheter Usage in the Neonatal Population
<p>Neonatal sepsis is associated with increased mortality and morbidities including lengthy hospital stays. Neonate’s immature immune system and susceptibility to sepsis make them prone to antibiotic treatment. Lack of recommendations points to the need for evidence-based practices when selecting a …

Endotoxin-induced microRNA expression in equine peripheral blood mononuclear cells
… morbidity of equine gastrointestinal disease, neonatal sepsis and other diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNA molecules acting as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, have key roles in TLR4 signaling regulation in other species. The central hypothesis of this study …

Cell Envelope Modifications By Lcp Family Proteins Of Group B Streptococcus And Virulence Singaling By Peptides Of The Salivaricin Locus Of Streptococcus Pyogenes
… pathogen that is the leading cause of human neonatal sepsis and meningitis. In order to cause systemic disease GBS must produce a polysaccharide capsule. Capsule expression is controlled in part by the protein CpsA. We demonstrate that deletion of the cpsA gene, or expression of proteins with …

Structural analysis of capsular polysaccharides produced by some emerging Klebsiella pneumoniae serotypes
… pathogenic bacterium, is a leading cause of neonatal sepsis in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Due to rapidly increasing anti-microbial resistance (AMR), it has been ranked among the “critical-priority 1” pathogens to human health by the World Health Organisation (WHO). K. …
