Two different neonatal umbilical cord treatment regimens were studied prospectively. Although a greater proportion of cords had separated by the seventh day in those babies not treated with topical antiseptics (47% vs. 26%), there was a significant excess (53% vs. 30%) of umbilical colonization by Staphylococcus aureus compared to those neonates whose cords were treated with alcohol wipes and hexachlorophane powder. The main purpose of treating cords is to prevent significant S. aureus colonization, and therefore current proposals to stop antiseptic treatment of umbilical cords should be disregarded.
对两种不同的新生儿脐带治疗方案进行了前瞻性研究。虽然在未使用局部防腐剂治疗的婴儿中，到第七天脐带脱落的比例更高（47%对26%），但与脐带用酒精擦拭和六氯酚粉治疗的新生儿相比，金黄色葡萄球菌引起的脐带感染显著增加（53%对30%）。治疗脐带的主要目的是防止金黄色葡萄球菌的显著定植，因此目前停止对脐带进行防腐治疗的提议应不予考虑。
