Maternal and neonatal IgG against Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with lower risk of neonatal sepsis: A case-control study of hospitalized neonates in Botswana.

Since neonatal IgG concentration and specificities reflect maternal serum IgG, we compared the Kleb- IgG levels in samples from mothers of neonates with and without sepsis; samples from mothers of neonates who developed sepsis tended to have less Kleb- IgG compared to mothers of controls although the association did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.06, Fig 3C ).
