Abstract:
The innate immune system is critical to protect against microorganisms,but it is immature.Preterm newborn have to stay longer in NICU.They are vulnerable to infections.The common pathogen is coagulase-negative staphylococci which is the most cause of mortality for preterm newborn.So it is the key to understand the interaction between innate immune system of preterm newborn and pathogen.
