“Enhanced acquisition of antibiotic-resistant intestinal E. coli during the first year of life assessed in a prospective cohort study”

ConclusionOne third of healthy Thai neonates harboured antibiotic-resistantE. coli in meconium. The proportion of resistantE. coli increased during the first year of life almost reaching the value in adults. We hypothesize that enhancement of infection control measures and cautious use of antibiotics may help to control further increase of resistance.
