  • Costs and cost-effectiveness of an infection prevention bundle to reduce neonatal sepsis and mortality in Zambia

    Open AccessLora Sabin, Rebecca L West et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    The Sepsis Prevention in Neonates in Zambia (SPINZ) trial was a prospective observational cohort study conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit of the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. Introduction of an infection prevention and control (IPC) bundle reduced hospital-associated mortality, total mortality, suspected sepsis, and confirmed bloodstream infections. This companion analysis was undertaken to analyze intervention costs …

  • Integrated epidemiologic investigation and genomic confirmation of a Klebsiella pneumoniae neonatal sepsis outbreak in Botswana

    Open AccessJonathan Strysko, Weiming Hu et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Klebsiella pneumoniae ( Kpn ) is a major cause of infant mortality worldwide, with most transmission occurring among hospitalized neonates in low- and middle-income countries where infections caused by multidrug-resistant Kpn (MDR- Kpn ) are increasingly common. We hypothesized that integrating laboratory surveillance for neonatal colonization and infection, real-time epidemiologic investigations, and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) could identify …

  • Transmission dynamics of Klebsiella pneumoniae in a neonatal intensive care unit in Zambia before and after an infection control bundle

    Open AccessLaura T Phillips, Matthew Bates et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of neonatal sepsis in low- and middle-income countries, with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) significantly contributing to mortality. We used whole genome sequencing to explore the impact of an infection prevention and control (IPC) intervention on K. pneumoniae strains and transmission dynamics responsible for sepsis in a Zambian neonatal unit. Blood culture isolates were collected during the Sepsis Preven…

  • Maternal and neonatal IgG against Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with lower risk of neonatal sepsis

    Open AccessSiqi Linsey Zhang, Carolyn McGann et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Sepsis is the leading postnatal cause of neonatal mortality worldwide. Globally Klebsiella pneumoniae is the leading cause of sepsis in hospitalized neonates. This study reports the development and evaluation of an ELISA for anti- Klebsiella IgG using dried blood spot (DBS) samples and evaluates the association of anti- Klebsiella IgG (anti-Kleb IgG) antibodies in maternal and neonatal samples with the risk of neonatal sepsis. Neonates and their …

  • Saving neonatal lives by improving infection prevention in low-resource units

    Open AccessJulia Johnson, Ibukunoluwa C Akinboyo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2019

    Infection prevention and control (IPC) are critical for neonatal care in low resource settings, where mortality is high and healthcare-associated infections are common
