TL;DR: The apparent burden of AMR in a given NNU in the LMIC setting can be influenced by a range of factors which will vary substantially between NNUs, and these variations must be considered when designing interventions to improve neonatal mortality globally.

TL;DR: The high burden of invasive GBS disease in South Africa, which is also associated with high case fatality rates and significant neurological sequelae among survivors, is partly due to the heightened risk for LOD in infants born to HIV-infected women.
The Association Between Breast Milk Group B Streptococcal Capsular Antibody Levels and Late-onset Disease in Young Infants

TL;DR: Breastmilk sIgA capsular antibody was associated with lower risk for LOD in young infants, and the ability of GBS polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines currently under development to induce sIGA responses warrant investigation as a potential mediator of protection against LOD.
