“…[ 38 ] For example, studies have shown that some Staphylococcus were commonly associated with catheters and indwelling medical devices in hospital, which further increased the likelihood that they were present on human mucosal surfaces. [ 39 ] In addition, the bacteria have been found in chorionic amniotic membrane and amniotic fluid samples from pregnant women and cord blood samples from healthy newborns who delivered vaginally or by caesarean section. [ 40 ] This suggests they may grow in the skin and digestive tract of the fetus in utero, raising the possibility of bacteria present in the chorionic membrane, amniotic fluid, colostrum, and milk.…”

ScopeThe microbes in breast milk are critical for the early establishment of infant gut microbiota and have important implications for infant health. Breast milk microbes primarily derive from the migration of maternal intestinal microbiota. This review suggests that the regulation of maternal diet on gut microbiota may be an effective strategy to improve infant health.Methods and resultsThis article reviews the impact of breast milk microbiota on infant development and intestinal health. The close relationship between the microbiota in the maternal gut and breast through the entero‐mammary pathway is discussed. Based on the effect of diet on gut microbiota, it is proposed that changing the maternal dietary structure is a new strategy for regulating breast milk microbiota and infant intestinal microbiota, which would have a positive impact on infant health.ConclusionBreast milk microbes have beneficial effects on infant development and regulation of the immune system. The mother's gut and breast can undergo certain bacterial migration through the entero‐mammary pathway. Research has shown that intervening in a mother's diet during breastfeeding can affect the composition of the mother's gut microbiota, thereby regulating the microbiota of breast milk and infant intestines, and is closely related to infant health.

“…However, in some institutions the systemic antibiotics are continued throughout the duration of EVD use. While there is some evidence that the long regimen can reduce EVD infection, it is clearly associated with higher healthcare costs [25] and with severe, often lifethreatening infection with Clostridioides difficile [26,27].…”

It is now recognised that infections in CSF shunts and external ventricular drains (EVDs) are biofilm infections, and the scientific basis of these infections is better understood. Infection rates in shunts have now fallen but remain unacceptably high. There is an increase in infections due to multi-drug-resistant bacteria in EVDs. Reliance on antimicrobial prophylaxis has potential lifethreatening consequences and safer more effective measures are available. These consist of well-founded “bundles” or surgical protocols that have been shown to reduce infection by application of well known but not universally applied principles. New developments in antimicrobial technology have now been shown to be clinically effective and have reduced healthcare costs. The reduction in antibiotic use has led to fewer adverse effects. Problems with multidrug resistance in EVD infections remain and technology to address these has been developed but is not yet clinically available.
