ABSTRACT
This study investigated the predictive factors for perinatal bacterial transmission in very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs) born to mothers with a history of intrapartum colonization. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 173 VLBWIs, wherein pathogens were confirmed in maternal cultures obtained from the blood, urine, and vagina during the intrapartum period from 2013 to 2020. Newborns were categorized based on microbiological tests, including gastric aspirates, endotracheal aspirates, blood, and skin/nasal swab cultures collected immediately after birth. Infants whose cultures matched their maternal pathogens were categorized into the "transmission group" (n = 45), while those who tested negative were assigned to the "control group" (n = 128). The predominant maternal-colonizing pathogen observed was Escherichia coli (30.6%), which also emerged as the primary colonizing pathogen in neonates (35.6%). Transmission group had higher incidences of maternal leukocytosis, chorioamnionitis, and cervical cerclage. Regarding neonatal characteristics, the transmission group demonstrated lower initial base excesses (- 6.3 ± 3.9 vs. - 9.2 ± 4.9, P < 0.05) and higher C-reactive protein levels (0.1 ± 0.3 vs. 0.4 ± 0.8, P < 0.05). Notably, regarding major neonatal outcomes, transmission group had higher mortality rates and incidences of severe intraventricular hemorrhage. These findings may be useful for making decisions when considering antibiotic treatment for infants with a history of maternal colonization.
