Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal emergency
among premature infants. Although a large body of research has focused on
understanding its pathogenesis, the exact mechanism has not been elucidated. Of
particular interest is the potential causative role of infectious culprits in the
development of NEC. A variety of reports describe bacterial, viral, and fungal
infections occurring in association with NEC; however, no single organism has
emerged as being definitively involved in NEC pathogenesis. In this review, the
authors summarize the literature on infectious causes of NEC.
