Preventive measures are crucial, particularly for at-risk populations like premature infants. Strategies include:
- Breastfeeding: Provides immune protection and promotes a healthy gut flora. - Prenatal Care: Regular check-ups to monitor and manage maternal health conditions. - Sterile Techniques: To prevent infections in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). - Probiotic Supplements: For high-risk neonates to promote gut health.
