Abstract in Portuguese
As espécies Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli e Pseudomonas aeruginosa são responsáveis por infecções neonatais hospitalares. Lipopolissacarídeo (LPS) é o principal indutor de respostas inflamatórias. Os objetivos foram avaliar a transferência placentária de IgG reativa ao LPS de K. pneumoniae, E. coli O111, O26 e O6 e P. aeruginosa empregando ELISA para dosar IgG em soro materno e de cordão de 29 neonatos pré-termos e 32 a termo; analisar IgM total e específica no soro materno; e investigar a influência das patologias apresentadas pelas mães na transferência placentária. Concentrações de IgG total foram reduzidas em pré-termos como esperado, porem índices de transferência placentária de IgG total e IgG anti-LPS foram sistematicamente reduzidos quando comparados aos neonatos a termo. Níveis de IgM total e anti-LPS foram equivalentes em mães de ambos os grupos. As patologias das mães influenciaram os níveis de IgM no grupo de mães de pré-termos. Estes resultados indicam uma imunidade adquirida deficiente pelo grupo pré-termo aumentando os riscos de infecção.

Abstract in English
Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa species are responsible for neonatal nosocomial infections. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the major inducer of the inflammatory responses. The aims were to evaluate the placental transfer of IgG reactive to LPS present in K. pneumoniae, in E. coli O111, O26 and O6 and in P. aeruginosa employing ELISA to detect IgG in maternal and cord sera from 29 preterm and 32 term neonates; to analyze total and specific IgM on the mothers sera; and to investigate the influence of the pathologies presented by some mothers in the placental transfer. Total IgG concentrations were reduced in preterm neonates as expected, but placental transfer indexes of total and anti-LPS IgG were systematically reduced when compared with term neonates. Total and anti-LPS IgM levels were equivalent on mothers of both groups. The mothers pathologies influenced only the IgM levels in the preterm mothers group. These results indicate a deficient acquired immunity by the preterm group increasing the risk of infection.
