[Character and risk factors of bacterial colonization of newborns in intensive care units].
A total of 116 newborns treated in intensive care wards were examined. The incidence, type, and risk factors of bacterial colonization were evaluated. Only 7.8% patients were colonized with gram-negative polyresistant microflora by admission, while after 3 days of intensive care as many as 48.2% newborns were colonized. The major microorganisms were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella spp., and Enterobacter spp. A relationship was detected between the bacterial spectrum of the skin and mucosa and the agents of infectious inflammatory complications in the newborns. The most significant factors of risk of colonization in the newborns with antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria in intensive care wards were forced ventilation of the lungs and initially severe clinical status (CRIB score 5 and higher).
