    Invasive infections in neonates are linked to high mortality and morbidity, particularly affecting preterm infants.

  • 2

    Bacterial colonization in neonatal units is a precursor to invasive infections and a source of resistant bacteria transmission.

  • 3

    The NeoIPC Project aims to implement infection prevention measures to reduce resistant bacterial infections in neonatal units across Europe.

  • 4

    A multicenter study assessed resistant bacterial colonization prevalence in 24 neonatal units across 8 European countries.

  • 5

    The primary outcome of the study was the acquisition of ESBL-harboring bacterial colonization during hospitalization.
