    Neonatal bloodstream infections (BSIs) have a high morbidity and mortality rate, with case fatality rates reaching up to 19%.

  • 2

    ESKAPEEc pathogens contribute to 58.6%-76.3% of BSIs and are associated with increased healthcare costs and mortality.

  • 3

    A retrospective study analyzed 625 neonates with confirmed BSIs, revealing a 55.4% prevalence of ESKAPEEc infections.

  • 4

    The study highlighted the urgent need for early diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial treatment to improve neonatal BSI outcomes.

  • 5

    Antimicrobial resistance among ESKAPEEc pathogens limits treatment options, necessitating regional analysis of microbial profiles.
