TL;DR: There was no increase in the incidence of non-GBS early-onset neonatal infections between 1996 and 1999, and fluctuations in the annual incidence of E coli infections, including ampicillin-resistant infections, suggest the need for continued surveillance in Connecticut and expansion to monitor larger populations.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that practical activities such as checking for ticks and bathing after spending time in the yard may reduce the risk of Lyme disease in regions where peridomestic risk is high.
