Background: () was a prevalent pathogenic bacterium among children. Due to the extensive use of antibiotics, the sensitivity of to these drugs has gradually declined. Since the 1960s, methicillin-resistant (MRSA) has emerged and spread worldwide, becoming a primary cause of both healthcare-associated (HA) and community-acquired (CA) infections.

- Bloodstream infections (BSIs) in children are a significant concern, as they can lead to high morbidity and mortality, necessitating effective and appropriate treatment to avoid worsening antibiotic resistance.
- A comprehensive five-year study analyzed 2,544 bacterial strains from 2,368 pediatric BSI patients in Beijing, focusing on the species distribution and antibiotic resistance patterns.
- Results showed that gram-positive bacteria were the primary pathogens, with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) displaying high levels of antibiotic resistance, while common gram-negative bacteria also exhibited notable resistance to crucial antibiotics.
Introduction: () is a major pathogen causing death in children. Few studies have evaluated the importance of in the identified bacteria in clinical work. This retrospective study aimed to reveal the rank of in determined bacteria isolated from children in Beijing, China, as well as the antimicrobial resistance of this pathogen.
