Abstract
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a frequent complication of premature birth. Treating RDS by continuous positive airway pressure and less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) may reduce bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Surfactant, however, can be inactivated by bacterial infection. Therefore, potential routes of microbe transmission into the airway are of interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate microbiological contamination of...
