Mother to Newborn Transmission of Staphylococcus Aureus and Dynamics of S.Aureus Carriage During the First Years Life

NCT03064373 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 600

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Staphylococcus aureus (SA) is a significant cause of community and hospital acquired infections. SA is carried by approximately 30% of healthy adults. Similar carriage rates have been reported in very young infants and newborns. Previous studies have suggested that the source of SA carriage in young children is SA carried by their mothers. Possible modes of transmission from mother to child are transmission during passage through a colonized birth canal, through lactation and/or close contact.

We aim to 1) Define the route of transmission between mother and newborn. 2) Assess the dynamics of S. aureus carriage during the first years of life and specifically determine risk factors for becoming a persistent carrier of S. aureus
