Multi-Drug Resistant Escherichia coli Causing Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis - a Single Center Experience from China.

We conclude that ESBL-producing multi-drug resistant E. coli has emerged as the major pathogen responsible for early-onset neonatal sepsis, particularly in preterm infants. Clinicians should consider this trend and attempt to select proper effective antibiotics as the empirical treatment for early-onset neonatal sepsis.
