Bacterial neonatal sepsis and antibiotic resistance in low-income countries

Tackling neonatal sepsis and antibiotic resistance is extremely challenging in low-income countries where neonatal mortality is high and antibiotic resistance is growing. Essential data on the burden of severe bacterial infections in neonates and bacterial causes are scarce in low-income countries,...

Summary:Tackling neonatal sepsis and antibiotic resistance is extremely challenging in low-income countries where neonatal mortality is high and antibiotic resistance is growing. Essential data on the burden of severe bacterial infections in neonates and bacterial causes are scarce in low-income countries, and the role of antibiotic resistance remains unclear.
