Neonatal Sepsis, 2006
Neonatal sepsis was added to the Minnesota Rules Governing Communicable Diseases in September 2005, and surveillance and collection of isolates in addition to group B Streptococcus began in January 2006. This statewide effort includes reporting of all bacteria other than coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolated from a sterile site in infants less than 7 days of age. The most prevalent sterile sites have been in blood and CSF.
The 2006 summary for Minnesota neonatal sepsis organisms in infants <7 days of age is as follows:
- 25 Group B Streptococcus,
- 13 Escherichia coli,
- 8 Staphylococcus aureus,
- 8 Streptococcus viridians,
- 4 Corynebacterium
- 2 Haemophilus influenzae,
- 2 Micrococcus,
- 2 Propionibacteria,
- 2 Enterococcus, and
- 1 each Group D Streptococcus, Streptococcus bovis, Pseudomonas stutzeri, Neisseria subfl ava, Morganella morganii, Kingella dentrificans, Kocuria kristinae, Paenibacillus, and Leuconostoc species.
Isolates were received for 55 of 75 identified neonatal sepsis organisms.
