What should be done about common pathogens causing neonatal sepsis?

Patient's question:

What are the most common pathogens of neonatal sepsis? Who has experience in this area? Please provide as many valuable opinions as possible. Thank you!!

Doctor's answer:

It can be divided into early-onset and late-onset forms. Early onset typically begins within 7 days of birth. Infection usually occurs before or during birth. The causative organisms are primarily Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli. It involves multiple systems, the disease is very dangerous, and the mortality rate is high. Late-onset disease occurs after 7 days of birth. Infection occurs during or after birth. Staphylococcus and Klebsiella pneumoniae are common pathogens, usually associated with localized infection foci, such as omphalitis and pneumonia. The mortality rate of early-onset disease is relatively low. Treatment is primarily aimed at antipathogen therapy, supplemented with symptomatic treatment. Monitor changes in the infant's vital signs and stabilize the infant's vital signs. Hospitalization is required, and after discharge, or return at any time
