MDR pathogens accounted for 34.5% of all neonatal HAIs in the NICU, but neither MDR pathogens nor inappropriate initial antibiotics were associated with final adverse outcomes. Because the overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics has emerged as an important issue in critically ill neonates, the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship to promote the appropriate use of antimicrobials is urgently needed.
