Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a rare cause of early-onset sepsis in neonates, even among infants with identifiable risk factors. Herein we describe the first case, to our knowledge, of P. aeruginosa early-onset sepsis in a term infant with no identifiable risk factor and propose that maternal healthcare occupation could predispose to gastrointestinal/genital colonization with this potential pathogen.
铜绿假单胞菌是新生儿早发性败血症的罕见病因,即使在有明确危险因素的婴儿中也是如此。在此,我们描述了首例据我们所知的无明确危险因素的足月婴儿铜绿假单胞菌早发性败血症病例,并提出产妇的医护职业可能使胃肠道/生殖系统更容易定植这种潜在病原体。
