Study summary

Enterobacteriaceae, more specifically Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, are the bacteria most often responsible for neonatal infections in low-income countries. Infections caused by multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E), are more often associated with an unfavorable outcome of the infection.

Enterobacteriaceae colonize the digestive tract which is the first step in developing a potential infection. Very few studies have been carried out at the community level. Colonization of the mother with ESBL-E is generally considered to be a major route of acquisition. The carrying of ESBL-E by other family members and other potential sources of transmission (food, objects and surfaces in contact with the newborn) have never been documented.

In addition, with a view to offering an intervention adapted to the local context, the local cultural determinants which govern the interactions of the newborn with his environment are important to understand.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center prospective cohort of all members living in the same household in which a newborn baby has just been born.

The study consists to:

  • recruit a cohort of all members of 60 households in which a newborn has just been born
  • carry out semi-structured interviews and direct participant observation.

This study is divided in two parts :

  • the epidemiological part : the documentation of colonization by E-ESBL by sampling the stools of the newborn, of all members of the household, and sampling of food given to the child, from surfaces in contact with it.
  • the anthropological part : Semi-structured interviews with key people in the structuring of the social and family environment of the newborn and participant direct observation of households.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
