Maternofetal infections due to Eikenella corrodens

International audienceEikenella corrodens, a commensal of the human oral cavity, is generally associated with bite wounds and head and neck infections. Neonatal infections are rare. We report two cases of premature birth associated with maternofetal E. corrodens infection

Table_1_Antibiotic Resistance Acquisition in the First Week of Life.XLSX

<p>Objectives: The fetus is considered sterile but recent studies have suggested that gut colonization could start before birth. Scarce data are available for the acquisition of resistant Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) during the first days of life. Several studies have shown that integrons play a major role in antibiotic resistance acquisition. In this work, we studied the dynamics of human intestinal acquisition of GNB and integrons during the first days of life.</p><p>Methods: Meconium was collected at birth and a stool sample before hospital discharge (days 2 or 3) on 185 term neonates. GNB were searched by culture on each sample and class 1, 2, and 3 integrons from each GNB or directly from samples. Eight risk factors for integron and GNB acquisition were studied.</p><p>Results: We isolated 228 GNB, 46 from meconium and the remainder from stools. No link was found between GNB isolation and antibiotic exposure during delivery, but antibiotic exposure during labor significantly selected bla_TEM-positive amoxicillin-resistant Enterobacteria. Two-thirds of GNB were antibiotic-susceptible and most of the resistant isolates were acquired after birth. Integrons were detected in 18 of the 228 GNB isolates from 3 meconium and 20 stools. Antibiotic administration during delivery and vaginal carriage of Streptococcus agalactiae appeared as risk factors for integron acquisition.</p><p>Conclusion: Gram-negative bacteria and integrons are mostly acquired after birth during the first days of life even if for some term neonates, meconium was not sterile. Antibiotic administration during delivery is a major risk for integron acquisition and for selection of amoxicillin-resistant Enterobacteria.</p

Shielding Parenteral Nutrition Solutions From Light: A Randomized Controlled Trial

International audienceIntroduction: Oxidant stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Light induces peroxide generation in parenteral nutrition (PN) solutions, creating an oxidant stress. Shielding PN from light decreases its peroxide content, which has nutrition and biochemical benefits in animals and humans. This study aims at determining whether full light protection of PN decreases the rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and/or death in very low-birth-weight infants. Methods: Multicenter randomized controlled trial of photoprotection, using amber bags and tubing initiated during compounding of PN and maintained throughout infusion in the light-protected (LP) group. The control group (light exposed [LE]) received PN exposed to ambient light. Depending on centers, lipids were infused either separately or as all-in-one PN. Results: In total, 590 infants born <30 weeks gestational age were included. At randomization, LE and LP groups did not differ clinically except for maximal FiO(2) before 12 hours. The rate of BPD/death was not different between groups at 28 days (77% LP vs 72% LE, P = .16) or at 36 weeks corrected age (30% LP vs 27% LE, P = .55). Multivariate analysis showed no significant effect of photoprotection on BPD and/or death. The rate of BPD/death was significantly lower (odds ratio, 0.54; 95% confidence interval, 0.32-0.93; P = .02) in infants receiving all-in-one PN vs those who received lipids separately. Conclusion: This study did not show significant beneficial effects of photoprotection. Since the decreased rate of BPD/death found with all-in-one PN relates to a center-dependent variable, this warrants further investigation

Dynamics of the digestive acquisition of bacterial carriage and integron presence by French preterm newborns according to maternal colonization: The DAIR3N multicentric study

ObjectivesThe study aimed to describe the dynamics and risk factors of Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) acquisition in preterm infants.MethodsThis prospective multicenter French study included mothers hospitalized for preterm delivery and their newborns, followed until hospital discharge. Maternal feces and vaginal fluids at delivery, and neonatal feces from birth to discharge were tested for cultivable GNB, potential acquired resistance, and integrons. The primary outcome was the acquisition of GNB and integrons in neonatal feces, and their dynamics, evaluated by survival analysis using the actuarial method. Risk factors were analyzed using Cox models.ResultsTwo hundred thirty-eight evaluable preterm dyads were included by five different centers over 16 months. GNB were isolated in 32.6% of vaginal samples, with 15.4% of strains producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) or hyperproducing cephalosporinase (HCase), and in 96.2% of maternal feces, with 7.8% ESBL-GNB or HCase-GNB. Integrons were detected in 40.2% of feces and 10.6% of GNB strains. The mean (SD) length of stay of newborns was 39.5 (15.9) days; 4 died in the hospital. At least one infection episode occurred in 36.1% of newborns. The acquisition of GNB and integrons was progressive from birth to discharge. At discharge, half of newborns had ESBL-GNB or HCase-GNB, independently favored by a premature rupture of membranes (Hazard Ratio (HR), 3.41, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.71; 6.81), and 25.6% had integrons (protective factor: multiple gestation, HR, 0.367, 95% CI, 0.195; 0.693).ConclusionIn preterm newborns, the acquisitions of GNB, including resistant ones, and integrons are progressive from birth to discharge. A premature rupture of membranes favored the colonization by ESBL-GNB or Hcase-GNB

Maternally acquired genotoxic Escherichia coli alters offspring's intestinal homeostasis

International audienceThe neonatal gut is rapidly colonized by a newly dominant group of commensal Escherichia coli strains among which a large proportion produces a genotoxin called colibactin. In order to analyze the short- and long-term effects resulting from such evolution, we developed a rat model mimicking the natural transmission of E. coli from mothers to neonates. Genotoxic and non-genotoxic E. coli strains were equally transmitted to the offspring and stably colonized the gut across generations. DNA damage was only detected in neonates colonized with genotoxic E. coli strains. Signs of genotoxic stress such as anaphase bridges, higher occurrence of crypt fission and accelerated renewal of the mature epithelium were detected at adulthood. In addition, we observed alterations of secretory cell populations and gut epithelial barrier. Our findings illustrate how critical is the genotype of E. coli strains acquired at birth for gut homeostasis at adulthood

Table1_Premedication before laryngoscopy in neonates: Evidence-based statement from the French society of neonatology (SFN).docx

ContextLaryngoscopy is frequently required in neonatal intensive care. Awake laryngoscopy has deleterious effects but practice remains heterogeneous regarding premedication use. The goal of this statement was to provide evidence-based good practice guidance for clinicians regarding premedication before tracheal intubation, less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) and laryngeal mask insertion in neonates.MethodsA group of experts brought together by the French Society of Neonatology (SFN) addressed 4 fields related to premedication before upper airway access in neonates: (1) tracheal intubation; (2) less invasive surfactant administration; (3) laryngeal mask insertion; (4) use of atropine for the 3 previous procedures. Evidence was gathered and assessed on predefined questions related to these fields. Consensual statements were issued using the GRADE methodology.ResultsAmong the 15 formalized good practice statements, 2 were strong recommendations to do (Grade 1+) or not to do (Grade 1−), and 4 were discretionary recommendations to do (Grade 2+). For 9 good practice statements, the GRADE method could not be applied, resulting in an expert opinion. For tracheal intubation premedication was considered mandatory except for life-threatening situations (Grade 1+). Recommended premedications were a combination of opioid + muscle blocker (Grade 2+) or propofol in the absence of hemodynamic compromise or hypotension (Grade 2+) while the use of a sole opioid was discouraged (Grade 1−). Statements regarding other molecules before tracheal intubation were expert opinions. For LISA premedication was recommended (Grade 2+) with the use of propofol (Grade 2+). Statements regarding other molecules before LISA were expert opinions. For laryngeal mask insertion and atropine use, no specific data was found and expert opinions were provided.ConclusionThis statement should help clinical decision regarding premedication before neonatal upper airway access and favor standardization of practices.</p
