   What causes late onset sepsis?

   • Late-onset sepsis (LOS) usually occurs via the transmission of pathogens from the surrounding environment after delivery, such as contact from healthcare workers or caregivers. A percentage ofLOS may also be caused by a late manifestation of vertically transmitted infection.

   What is the difference between early onset and late onset sepsis?

   • Early-onset sepsis usually results from organisms acquired intrapartum, and symptoms appear within 6 hours of birth. Late-onset sepsis is usually acquired from the environment and is more likely in preterm infants, particularly those with prolonged hospitalization, using IV catheters, or both.

   What causes late onset sepsis in premature infants?

   • Early Hum Dev. 2010 Jul; 86 (Suppl 1): 7–12. Late-onset sepsis in premature infants is a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and increased medical costs. Risk factors include low birth weight, low gestational age, previous antimicrobial exposure, poor hand hygiene, and central venous catheters.

   Nov 11, 2022 · LOS is primarily attributed to nosocomial or horizontal pathogen acquisition, and exposures to hospital or community environments. Pathogen exposure may occur due to contamination or colonization of indwelling invasive medical devices, contact with care providers, and/or other environmental sources and surfaces.

   Nov 1, 2022 · Neonatal late-onset sepsis (LOS) continues to threaten morbidity and mortality in the NICU and poses ongoing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Early recognition of clinical signs, rapid evaluation, and prompt initiation of treatment are critical to prevent life-threatening deterioration.

   A positive culture could result from simple colonization in the catheter, especially when coagulase-negative Staphylococcus is identified. Bacterial growth time, number of positive cultures, and evaluation of the clinical manifestations help differentiate true sepsis from catheter colonization.

   Most cases are caused by group B streptococcus (GBS) and gram-negative enteric organisms (predominantly Escherichia coli). Vaginal or rectal cultures of women at term may show GBS colonization rates of up to 35%. At least 35% of their infants also become colonized.
