THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MICROBIOLOGICAL MONITORING IN NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNITS IN KRASNIDAR REGIONAL CLINICAL HOSPITAL №2

Abstract

Aim. To compare proportion of different microorganisms in neonatal intensive care units and to assess bacterial susceptibility to antimicrobial agents.Materials and methods. Microbiological monitoring was carried out in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) №1 and №2 of Perinatal center of Krasnodar Region clinical hospital №2.Results.
