Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In March 2004, infection or colonization with Serratia marcescens affected one third of all neonates in a newborn services unit (NBS). METHODS: We performed a case-control study and automated ribotyping. RESULTS: Forty-nine cases were compared with 64 controls. The overall mean length of stay (LOS) in the NBS was 67 days for cases and 36 days for controls, P = .005. Cases were of lower mean birth...
