S sepsis is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. In a population-based surveillance study1 from 2005 to 2008, researchers estimated that 3300 cases of early-onset sepsis (EOS) occur in the United States each year, with 390 of these cases resulting in death.

Though intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis has decreased the incidence of early-onset group B streptococcal infection dramatically, it still remains a major cause of neonatal sepsis. Moreover, some studies among VLBW preterm infants have shown an increase in ear...
