Germs and antibiotic choices for newborns in intensive care
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at the types of bacteria that cause infections in newborns and which antibiotics work best to treat them. By joining, you help doctors learn how to better protect babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- Your baby must have been in the hospital for more than 48 hours.
- Your baby must not have had signs of infection (sepsis) when they were admitted.
- You must agree to let your baby take part in the study.

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.
This trial looks at how children with severe bacterial infections that start outside the hospital are treated in the pediatric intensive care unit. It helps doctors learn more about these infections to improve care for kids.
This study is testing a new blood test to see if it can help doctors decide when to use antibiotics for newborns who may have a late-onset infection. The goal is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
This study collects information about newborns in participating hospital units who have an infection confirmed by a lab test. The goal is to better understand infection patterns so care for newborns can improve.
This study looks at how antibiotics are used in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) to improve treatment and reduce unnecessary use. It may help ensure your child gets the right antibiotics if needed.
