The focus of our research is the influence of environmental pathogens transmitted via nutritional solutions on short- and long-term outcome parameters in extremely low gestational age infants (ELGAN).
During intensive care treatment, ELGANs are exposed to a range of bacterial, viral and non-organic pathogens. While some evidence is available for infectious pathogens, such as human milk bacteria or human cytomegalovirus, the scope and the influence of emerging pathogens, such as nanoparticles and chemical compounds, are less evident. The aim of our research is to assess the extent of exposure and clinical relevance of organic and non-organic nutritional pathogens during intensive care treatment of ELGANs.
