Investigation and analysis of pathogenic bacteria distribution in neonates with purulent meningitis
Objective To understand the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in neonatal purulent meningitis and to provide reference for effective prevention and control.Methods Pathogenic specimen detection method was used to detect and analyze the pathogen specimens of children with purulent meningitis admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)of a hospital.Results A total of 130 cases of early-onset and late-onset neonatal purulent meningitis were diagnosed in this survey.From the pathogenic specimens submitted by confirmed neonatal patients,110 pathogens were detected,including 17 types of bacteria,and the proportion of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was equivalent.Among the 110 positive specimens,54 were early-onset cases and 56 were late-onset cases.The top 5 pathogens were Escherichia coli,Streptococcus agalactiae,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Listeria monocytogenes,and coagulase negative Staphylococcus.Conclusions The pathogens of neonatal meningitis admitted to NICU in this hospital contain both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria,and targeted prevention and control measures should be strengthened.
