Microbial Invasion During Parenteral Nutrition in Surgical Infants Receiving Glutamine

Microbial Invasion During Parenteral Nutrition in Surgical Infants Receiving Glutamine.

We hypothesise that the addition of glutamine supplementation to both parenteral nutrition and enteral feeds in surgical newborn infants leads to a reduction in bacterial invasion.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Infants who have undergone surgical procedures for congenital anomalies or
• Intestinal inflammation who require total parenteral nutrition.

Exclusion Criteria:
