This study explores the association between the presence of Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) in gestational urine cultures and ESBL-PE in corresponding neonatal cultures. It also examines the impact of ESBL-PE on neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Background Community acquired Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) pandemics, 1990s-today Enterobacteriaceae (EB) cause early and late onset neonatal sepsis The burden of EB sepsis is especially high in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU)

Background Routine urinary cultures are taken during pregnancy Treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy prevents pyelonephritis and premature labour No data about the significance of these cultures for vertical transmission to neonates
Objectives Primary - to find out association between the presence of ESBL-PE in gestational urine cultures and ESBL-PE in the corresponding neonates' cultures Secondary - to analyze the effect of ESBL-PE on neonatal morbidity and mortality
Methods Retrospective cohort study of neonates born during the years 2009-2013 whose mothers had performed urinary cultures within one year prior to delivery Data were obtained from the centralized Clalit Health Services warehouse The cohort included only neonates who had any type of positive EB culture during the first three months after birth
Results Flowchart of the Study Population
Trends for ESBL-PE proportion in the EB positive neonatal cultures (n=2,647) Total rate for 5 years cohort = 11%
Secondary Objective 1 Neonates length of hospital stay during the 3 months after birth
Conclusions ESBL-PE in maternal urinary culture during pregnancy is an independent risk for neonatal ESBL-PE Neonatal ESBL-PE are associated with increased hospital stay and mortality Comprehensive infection control policy in NICU should take in consideration the results of maternal urinary cultures
