There appears to be a wide variety of bacteria causing EOS
and LOS sepsis in developing countries. This variation may be
true, but important confounders may include different
definitions of EOS and LOS, different inclusion criteria for
studies (including population sampled), inability to culture
certain organisms, small numbers, and/or short periods of
surveillance. The latter may be particularly important, as
surveillance may be occurring during, or indeed may have
been initiated because of, an outbreak of a specific pathogen
and may not therefore be representative
