Tracking Bacteria to Help Prevent Life-Threatening Sepsis in Premature Babies
Today, researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery that could help us better understand and treat sepsis, a life-threatening infection that is particularly concerning for premature babies. By using a new technique that allows them to track individual bacteria in the bloodstream, they are now able to see how bacteria behave in real-time. This could help doctors quickly identify and treat sepsis before it becomes a serious problem. The study found that certain bacteria were more likely to cause sepsis, which could lead to more targeted treatments that could help save lives.
