Analysis of Anti-Infective Treatment of 9 Neonates with Raoultella ornithinolytica Sepsis

Abstract

Raoul ornithine-releasing bacteria widely exist in water, plants, and soil, and colonize the digestive tract and upper respiratory tract of the human body. They are aerobic, unpowered, and capsular opportunistic pathogens. The infectivity of this bacterium is still uncertain, but the possibility of nosocomial infection has been mentioned in the literature. Studies have pointed out that the bacterium should be diagnosed in time and sensitive antibiotics should be used early. Once complicated with sepsis, it can cause multiple organ failure with a poor prognosis. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of nine cases of neonatal L. ornithine septicemia, to explore the clinical characteristics of neonatal L. ornithine septicemia and anti-infection therapy.
