Analysis of Factors Related to Neonatal Infection and Monitoring of Bacterial Drug Resistance

Abstract Objective To study the factors related to neonatal infection, as well as bacterial distribution and drug resistance in neonatal infections, in an obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Shanghai. Methods The bacterial culture and drug resistance monitoring results from neonates treated at the hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 were analyzed and compared with the data for children and newborns from the national bacterial resistance surveillance report. Results Among the 209 bacterial strains isolated from infected neonates, 90 were gram-positive, including the four most common isolates: coagulase-nega…
