Late-onset neonatal sepsis (LOS), occurring in newborn of at least 7 days of life, is frequently observed in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) and potentially severe (mortality, neurologic and respiratory impairments). Despite its high prevalence, a reliable diagnostic remains difficult. Currently, nonspecific clinical signs that might be related to other neonatal conditions such as prematurity and birth defects, are used to determine the diagnosis of LOS. Laboratory results of biological markers, such as C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Procalcitonin (PCT) are often delayed in comparison with LOS onset. Blood culture results are too late and lack sensitivity. This explains why excessive antibiotic use is observed in a large proportion of NICU hospitalized newborns. This results in an increased antibiotic resistance, microbiota modification, neonatal complications (pulmonary, ophthalmol
