1137 newborn infants in the towns of Harstad and Tromsø were examined for Staphylococcus aureus. The children were followed for two months after birth, and 10% showed signs of infection. The first symptom occurred on the average on the ninth day of life, while the average stay in the maternity ward was six days. 85% of those being regarded on clinical grounds as infected with S aureus showed growth of this bacterium on cultivation of the specimens taken. Over 80% of the strains were resistant to penicillin G/V and approximately 11% resistant to fucidic acid. Resistance to other antibiotics was not found to present any problem. A survey of staphylococcal infections among the newborn should include both the stay in the maternity ward and the first week at home.
对哈斯塔德和特罗姆瑟镇的1137名新生儿进行了金黄色葡萄球菌检测。这些儿童在出生后随访了两个月，10%出现了感染迹象。首个症状平均出现在出生后第九天，而在产科病房的平均住院时间为六天。临床上被认为感染金黄色葡萄球菌的患儿中，85%的标本培养显示该细菌生长。超过80%的菌株对青霉素G/V耐药，约11%对夫西地酸耐药。未发现对其他抗生素的耐药性存在任何问题。对新生儿葡萄球菌感染的调查应包括在产科病房的住院时间和在家中的第一周。
