Background: One hundred fifty-seven preterm infants who were enrolled in the study were hospitalized between 2012 and 2014 at the University Hospital of Amiens-Picardie. Only 28 (17.8%) of the children who had a secondary coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia with positive stool cultures were included in this study.
Objectives: This investigation sought to examine the rate of intestinal bacterial translocation associated with these infections.
Methods: In the context of this study, blood and stool cultures were performed. MALDI-TOF MS was used to examine all isolates of Staphylococcus spp. Genotyping and antibiotic susceptibility were also done.
Results: Antibiotic susceptibility revealed sixteen resistance patterns in blood and stool. Ten of the coagulase-negative Sta.. View More»
