Protecting patients from harm is the overarching theme of the studies presented here. More precisely, this thesis places a focus on the prevention of nosocomial or hospitalacquired bloodstream infections in preterm infants, thus saving them from further harm. A nosocomial infection is an infection acquired during hospitalization 48-72 hours after admission or birth. These infections are a threat to patients’ health worldwide.
