Abstract:
Sepsis is a common cause of neonatal death and has attracted more and more attention in recent years.The intestine is the largest reservoir of bacteria in the human body, and it plays an initial role in the occurrence and development of many diseases.The use of antibiotics, feeding methods, delivery methods and gestational age can seriously affect the colonization of neonatal intestinal flora.The recent studies have shown that the imbalance of intestinal flora can activate uncontrolled pro-inflammatory responses and lead to sepsis.The intestinal microecology of neonates with sepsis may have flora disorder, decreased diversity, and flora shift, which can result in a series of pathophysiological changes throughout the body.This article reviews the role of intestinal microecology in the pathogenesis of neonatal sepsis and the influencing factors of intestinal flora.
