Spectrum of pathogens of bacteremia in children

https://doi.org/10.51922/1818-426X.2022.2.114

Abstract

The analysis of the results of bacteriological examination of blood samples of patients aged from 1 month to 18 years was carried out. A retrospective analysis was carried out based on the results of the virus-bacteriological laboratory of the City Children's Infectious Clinical Hospital of Minsk for the period from 2009 to 2020. It was found that gram-positive bacteria predominate in the spectrum of bacteremia pathogens in patients (59.4 %), among which coagulase-negative types of staphylococci dominate, which corresponds to numerous modern studies from other countries, according to which the most common pathogens of bacteremia are coagulase-negative staphylococci.
