Description
Manhui Zhang and colleagues present a 2026 review of bloodstream infections in newborns at a large Chinese hospital. Newborns, above all early and small babies, catch infections easily. The team looked back over records from 2021 to 2024, covering culture results and drug resistance for babies admitted in their first days of life.
Of 652 admitted newborns, 283 had proven bloodstream infection. Two germs stood out: a skin staphylococcus and Klebsiella pneumoniae, a gut and hospital bacterium. The staphylococcus resisted many common penicillin-type drugs. The Klebsiella often resisted advanced antibiotics too. Over half the 290 isolates were Gram-positive types, and two-thirds of those resisted multiple drugs. Early-born and low-weight babies, and later-onset cases, made up large shares. The authors back local tracking to guide drug use.
