is a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in soil and water. This organism is associated with nosocomial infections, especially in neonatal wards, as it has been isolated from contaminated medical equipment. Prompt diagnosis and early institution of appropriate combination therapy for prolonged period are crucial in the management of such infections. Herein, we describe two premature neonates admitted to our special care baby unit at 31 and 36 weeks old, respectively, who were diagnosed with neonatal bacterial sepsis. In both patients, blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid cultures indicated that was the causative organism. This bacterium is generally resistant to multiple antibiotics, including combination therapy. Therefore, can cause severe infection with a high risk of mortality and neurological sequelae in neonates. Intensive care and multidisciplinary interventions and involvement of an infection control team are crucial for effectively managing and preventing these infections.
是一种革兰氏阴性杆菌,常见于土壤和水中。这种微生物与医院感染有关,尤其是在新生儿病房,因为它已从受污染的医疗设备中分离出来。对于此类感染的管理,及时诊断并尽早开始长期适当的联合治疗至关重要。在此,我们描述了分别在31周和36周时入住我们特殊护理婴儿病房的两名早产儿,他们被诊断为新生儿细菌性败血症。在这两名患者中,血液和/或脑脊液培养表明 是病原体。这种细菌通常对多种抗生素耐药,包括联合治疗。因此, 可在新生儿中引起严重感染,具有高死亡率和神经后遗症风险。重症监护以及多学科干预和感染控制团队的参与对于有效管理和预防这些感染至关重要。
