Early-onset neonatal sepsis in the Paris area: a population-based surveillance study from 2019 to 2021

Conclusion
In neonates ≥34 WG born in the Paris area, GBS was twice as frequent as E. coli in term infants. EOS was six times more frequent in late preterm than in term infants and was due to E. coli in 60% of cases. Prevention of GBS EOS and empiric antibiotic treatment of EOS could be improved.
