Microbiome signatures in neonatal central line associated bloodstream infections.

Neonates are at high risk for central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Biofilm formation is universal on indwelling catheters but why some biofilms seed the bloodstream to cause CLABSI is not clearly understood. With the objective to test the hypothesis that catheter biofilm microbio...
