The present longitudinal study of 40 healthy term infants and 20 preterm infants shows that neutrophil bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus faecalis is transiently but significantly impaired in term infants during the 1st week of life. The deficiency is more severe and prolonged in preterm infants, and may contribute to the neonate's increased susceptibility to infections.
这项针对40名足月健康婴儿和20名早产婴儿的纵向研究表明，足月婴儿在出生后第一周对金黄色葡萄球菌和粪肠球菌的中性粒细胞杀菌活性会短暂但显著受损。这种缺陷在早产婴儿中更为严重且持续时间更长，可能导致新生儿对感染的易感性增加。
