Neonatal septicemia, or blood poisoning, is a dangerous illness in newborns. It is caused by bacteria or other infections entering the blood and spreading. Pregnancy, labor, delivery and exposure after birth can result in infection of the newborn. Neonatal septicemia kills 700,000 babies worldwide, mostly in low- and middle-income countries. Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria can cause infections in people with weaker immune systems or other disorders. They are particularly dangerous in hospitals, as they can cause chronic lung problems. This study collected blood samples from newborns with blood poisoning. Most samples that contained Burkholderia cepacia complex were not susceptible to drugs. Four of the newborns carried the same bacteria, indicating that hospital staff should practice hand washing and equipment and environmental cleaning to prevent the spread of the bacteria.
