The article reflects on a study performed by researcher H.S. Deshmukh on increased susceptibility to systemic infections caused by bacteria Escherichia coli K1 and Klebsiella pneumoniae in neonatal babies due to perinatal antibiotic treatment. Topics discussed include Gammaproteobacteria colonization, normal microbiota colonization's importance in late-onset sepsis development, and effects of antibiotics in neonates.
