Description
Powei Tang and others analyse drug-resistant gut bacteria in a newborn deep care unit in south China in a 2026 study. Multidrug-resistant Gram-neg bacilli are a growing public health threat, above all for newborns. Records from one hospital between January 2017 and May 2022 were reviewed for newborns with positive cultures.
Among 242 newborns, 425 resistant strains were found. Escherichia coli accounted for about 78 percent and Klebsiella pneumoniae about 15 percent, with 217 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producers. Just over half the newborns were colonised only, while the rest had active illness, including 67 with sepsis. Very low birth weight, under 1,500 grams, tripled illness odds. The study points to birth weight and mother factors as targets for prevention.
