Bacteria in breast milk of NICU mothers
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at the bacteria naturally found in breast milk. Researchers want to learn more about the germs in milk from mothers whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at the natural content of breast milk from mothers who breastfeed their newborns for at least 6 months. By donating small extra milk samples, you help researchers understand what makes milk so good for babies.
This study explores how antibiotics given during delivery affect a baby's gut bacteria and long-term health. If you are pregnant or just gave birth and received antibiotics during labor, you and your newborn may be able to join.
This study looks at the germ Staphylococcus aureus in newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It aims to track how the germ spreads and understand its genes, which could help keep other babies safe.
