Multidrug-Resistant Organisms and Bacillus cereus Colonization in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Cohort Study.

Background: Surveillance of neonate microbiota carriage, particularly multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) and Bacillus cereus, could help prevent infection. We evaluated the presence of these in the stools of hospitalized infants, duration of isolation and risk of infection in infants with digestive carriage of MDROs or B. cereus.
