Article Synopsis
  • Four bacteriophages that infect the mc155 strain were isolated from soil and their genomes sequenced.
  • Three of these phages belong to subcluster P1, while one belongs to subcluster P2.
  • The genomes of all four phages show similarities in the left arm, but the P2 phage has distinct differences in its right arm; all exhibit characteristics of temperate phages.

Objective: Investigate the benefit of umbilical catheterization upon survival and selected morbidities in extremely premature newborns (<28 weeks gestation). Outcomes of successfully catheterized extremely premature newborns are compared with others who cannot be successfully catheterized, and we hypothesize that umbilical catheterization promotes survival and reduces morbidities.

Study Design: Utilizing a retrospective, cohort study design, survival and outcomes of catheterized and non-catheterized newborns (n = 722) were compared by univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses.
