Epidemiology and Drug Resistance of Neonatal Bloodstream Infection Pathogens in East China Children's Medical Center From 2016 to 2020.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To analyze the pathogen distribution and drug resistance of newborns with bloodstream infection (BSI) to help clinicians choose the appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy for clinical infection control.

Methods

A total of 707 neonatal BSI cases were retrospectively analyzed. The bacteria in blood culture-positive samples were cultured, identified, and analyzed for drug sensitivity by routine methods. Statistical software was used to compare and analyze the basic data, pathogenic information, and drug resistance of the main bacteria.

Results

The 5-year average positive rate of neonatal blood culture was 2.50%. The number of specimens submitted for inspection in 2020 significantly decreased. The top five infectious pathogens with the highest proportion we
