Abbreviations: GNB, gram-negative bacilli; NICU, neonatal intensive care unit.

aData are presented as number (percent) of colonized infants or number of isolates (infants could be colonized by more than 1 resistant GNB species).

bOne infant was colonized with 2 GNB species, each resistant to a different antimicrobial category, and 8 infants were colonized with 1 GNB species resistant to ≥2 antimicrobial categories.

cOther: 1 Enterobacter spp. and 1 Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

dOther: 2 Morganella morganii, 2 Pseudomonas spp., and 1 Serratia marcescens.

eOne isolate harbored K. pneumoniae carbapenemase and was also resistant to gentamicin and third/fourth-generation cephalosporin.

fOther: 2 Citrobacter spp., 1 Morganella morganii, 2 Pantoea spp., and 1 Escherichia coli.
