Antibiotic Susceptibility of <i>Escherichia coli</i> Among Infants Admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units Across the US From 2009 to 2017

Abstract

In this cohort study, nonsusceptibility to commonly administered antibiotics was found in substantial proportions of neonatal E coli isolates, with no significant change from 2009 to 2017. These findings may inform empirical antibiotic choices for newborn infants.
