Application of Advanced Molecular Methods to Study Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis

Abstract excerpt

Early-onset sepsis (EOS) is a global health issue, considered one of the primary causes of neonatal mortality. Diagnosis of EOS is challenging because its clinical signs are nonspecific, and blood culture, which is the current gold-standard diagnostic tool, has low sensitivity.
