Contamination of Bacillus Species Sepsis.
Sponsor: Hôpital NOVO
Summary
Bacillus species are ubiquitous gram-positive spore-forming organisms. They rarely cause disease in the immunocompetent and are more frequently isolated as a culture contaminant. However, Bacillus Species can cause severe systemic infections in immunocompromised patients including preterm infants. The purpose of this study is to identify the risk factors of these infections.
