Additionally, PPB has been increased in recent years dramatically, and it becomes a biggest challenge not only for obstetricians but also pediatricians.7–9 An early identification of risk factors associated with PPB and an offering the prompt and effective treatment may decrease the PPB-related morbidity and mortality.10 However, none of them can totally avoid the incidence and prevalence of PPB and the outcomes of very low–birth weight (VLBW) newborns are still disappointing based on their immature organogenesis and physiological malfunction, even though advances of current medical care have improved the survival of these infants.11 These VLBW infants are vulnerable to insults-related injuries either from internal or external sources.11 Attacks by microorganisms may be one of the  \n*Address correspondence.
