    Presencia de bacterias enterotoxigénicas intestinales en casos del síndrome de muerte súbita del lactante (SMSL)

    Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is one of the leading causes of mortality in infants under one year of age and remains a public health concern worldwide. A descriptive and non-experimental documentary approach was carried out through the evaluation of several bibliographic sources, including scientific articles and studies related to the detection of enterotoxigenic bacteria in SIDS cases. It has been able to establish from several studies that there is a possible relationship between intestinal enterotoxigenic bacteria and SIDS. Some of these studies have found an association between the presence of enterotoxigenic bacteria in the gut and an increased risk of SIDS, including bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium botulinum. In conclusion, the evidence so far suggests a possible association between intestinal enterotoxigenic bacteria and SIDS. However, further research is needed to establish a definitive causal relationship and to better understand the underlying mechanisms. This will contribute to the prevention and proper management of SIDS, reducing its incidence and impact on infant health.
