ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the spectrum and changes of pathogens causing healthcare-associated infec-tion(HAI)in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU).Methods Clinical medical records of neonates with HAI in a hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were collected,spectrum of pathogens causing HAI were and analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 7 597 hospitalized neonates were investigated,and 240 of whom had 263 cases of HAI,with an HAI incidence of 3.16%and healthcare-associated case infection incidence of 3.46%.96 cases(36.50%)were bloodstream infection,70(26.62%)were respiratory system infection,and 57(21.67%)were in-fection without clear sites.A total of 170 pathogens were detected from specimens,78(45.88%)of which were Gram-positive bacteria,with Staphylococcus spp.accounting for the highest proportion,78(45.88%)were Gram-negative bacteria,mainly Klebsiella pneumoniae,and 14(8.24%)were fungi.The detection rate of Gram-negative bacteria showed an upward trend from 2018 to 2022(P<0.01).Conclusion The majority of HAI in NICU is bloodstream infection.In recent years,the detection rate of Gram-negative bacteria has been increasing year by year,and it is necessary to streng-then the prevention and control of HAI in clinical practice.
