Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacterales in stool surveillance cultures of preterm infants are no risk factor for necrotizing enterocolitis: a retrospective case –control study over 12 years

ConclusionsWe observed a threefold increase of ESBL-E in stool surveillance cultures during study time and germs were dominated by ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp. There was no evidence that preterm infants colonized with ESBL-E in the stool were at higher risk for definite NEC.
