Abstract
Prolonged treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics was associated with the colonization of infants with antimicrobial-resistant GNB within 7 days of NICU discharge. These findings suggest the potential for dissemination of resistant GNB from colonized infants to other NICUs, the community, or pediatric long-term care facilities. Antimicrobial stewardship efforts aimed at improving appropriate antibiotic use could have a beneficial effect on the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant GNB in the NICU population.
