TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the incidence of invasive disease due to these pathogens during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic and found that containment policies and public information campaigns likely reduced transmission of S pneumoniae, H influenzae, and N meningitidis, leading to a significant reduction in lifethreatening invasive diseases in many countries worldwide.

TL;DR: Investigation of an outbreak of influenza A in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with examination of risk factors for infection and outcomes found influenza A is an important pathogen in the neonatal population and is readily transmissible in the NICU setting.

TL;DR: The prevalence and type of health-care-associated infections in children and adolescents in Europe and risk factors for infection in this population are estimated to be 4·2% and 770, respectively, respectively.

TL;DR: ESBL outbreaks in NICUs are associated with significant mortality and prolonged disruption, and understaffing is a major risk factor, but is infrequently addressed by interventions.

TL;DR: The incidence of invasive infant group B streptococcal disease in the UK and Ireland has increased since a comparable study done in 2000-01 and the burden of early-onset disease has not declined despite the introduction of national prevention guidelines.
