About
Sagori Mukhopadhyay, MD, MMSc, is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics specializing in Neonatology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She provides critical care to high-risk infants with conditions such as infection, respiratory distress, and complications of prematurity. Her clinical expertise focuses on neonatal intensive care, and she is involved in the care of newborns at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Her research interests include neonatal infectious disease epidemiology, the developing microbiome, and the impact of early-life factors on later childhood health outcomes. Dr. Mukhopadhyay has contributed to understanding the impact of early-onset sepsis and antibiotic use on neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely preterm infants, neonatal intestinal dysbiosis, and the role of microbiological tests and biomarkers in antibiotic stewardship. She is actively engaged in advancing neonatal care through both clinical practice and research.

Selected publications
Assessment of Maternal and Neonatal Cord Blood SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies and Placental Transfer Ratios
JAMA Pediatrics · 2021-01-29 · 298 citations
articleOpen accessImportance: Maternally derived antibodies are a key element of neonatal immunity. Understanding the dynamics of maternal antibody responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during pregnancy and subsequent transplacental antibody transfer can inform neonatal management as well as maternal vaccination strategies. Objective: To assess the association between maternal and neonatal SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody concentrations. Design, Setting, and Participants:…
SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among parturient women in Philadelphia
Science Immunology · 2020-07-03 · 143 citations
articleOpen accessLimited data are available for pregnant women affected by SARS-CoV-2. Serological tests are critically important for determining SARS-CoV-2 exposures within both individuals and populations. We validated a SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor binding domain serological test using 834 pre-pandemic samples and 31 samples from COVID-19 recovered donors. We then completed SARS-CoV-2 serological testing of 1,293 parturient women at two centers in Philadelphia from April 4 to June 3, 2020. We found 80/1,293 (6.2…
Utility of Anaerobic Blood Cultures in Neonatal Sepsis Evaluation
Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society · 2024-05-31 · 13 citations
articleSenior authorCorrespondingBACKGROUND: Clinicians variably obtain anaerobic blood cultures as part of sepsis evaluations in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Our objective was to determine if anaerobic blood culture bottles yielded clinically relevant information by either recovering pathogens exclusively or more rapidly than the concurrently obtained aerobic culture bottle in the NICU. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of blood cultures obtained from infants admitted to the NICU from August 01, 2015 to August…
Hospital-Onset Bacteremia Among Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Patients
JAMA Pediatrics · 2024-06-24 · 12 citations
letterOpen accessImportance: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to introduce hospital-onset bacteremia (HOB) as a health care-associated infection measure. The epidemiology and clinical characteristics of HOB among infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are unknown. Objective: To estimate the rate of HOB among infants admitted to the NICU, measure the association of HOB risk with birth weight group and postnatal age, and estimate HOB-attributable mortality. Design, Setting,…
