Eligibility Criteria

undefined - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

Breastfeeding mothers of infants:

  • Aged 1 to 89 days consulting in hospitals in the Marseille area (Assistance Publique des Hôpitaux de Marseille: Hôpital de la Timone-enfants and Hôpital Nord),
  • Suspected neonatal bacterial infection due to the presence of fever (rectal or axillary temperature > 38°C),

  • Patients affiliated or benefiting from a social security system.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Exclusive formula milk feeding
  • Opposition of legal guardians
  • No bacteriological sample to prove infant infection
  • No confirmation of fever by standardized method
  • Opposition to participating in the study
  • Neonatal hospitalization > 48 hours for management of prematurity.
  • Severe congenital malformations in the infant.
  • Antibiotic treatment for a concomitant bacterial infection in the infant.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Breastfeeding mother

Arm Description

Breastfeeding mother with infants between 1 and 89 days of age who presented with suspected neonatal bacterial sepsis due to the presence of a fever.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Description of bacterial carriage of breast milk
Identify the bacterial carriage of breast milk of infants with neonatal sepsis. Microbial anlaysis of mother's milk from baby with neonatal sepsis.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Comparison of breast milk of infants with neonatal sepsis to infants without neonatal sepsis.
Compare the bacterial carriage (type of germs found) of the breast milk of infants with neonatal sepsis to breast milk of infants with fever for another cause (virus, non identified germ)
Comparison of milk germs to children's germs.
Compare the germs found in the breast milk of each mother-infant pair with a bacterial infection with the germs identified in the infant.
Comparison of microbiota profiles in breast milk
Compare the bacterial composition of the breast milk of mother-infant pairs with the same germ (germ infecting the child identical to the germ identified in the mother's milk) versus mother-infant pairs with a different germ in the milk (no germ found in the child when a germ was identified in the breast milk, or germ infecting the child different from the germ identified in the mother's milk).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Breast milk contains many microorganisms including bacteria that are beneficial to health (probiotics), but also bacteria that are generally considered pathogenic. Several studies have described an increased risk of infections due to pathogenic germs in breast milk in premature newborns whose digestive system is immature and whose digestive flora is modified by repeated antibiotic treatments. However, a breastfed baby is better protected against infectious diseases than a bottle-fed baby. The objective of this study is to define the breast milk microbiota of infants with confirmed early or late neonatal bacterial infection compared to the breast milk microbiota of infants with no evidence of bacterial infection. For that purpose, an exploration will be performed using the principle of "Microbial Culturomics" and targeted metagenomics (16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing).
