Perinatal outcomes according to maternal ESBL-E vaginal
colonization
Finally, we compared the perinatal outcomes according to ESBL-E vaginal
colonization in 1,460 mothers and 1,616 live-born neonates. As shown in
Table 5, the gestational age at admission and delivery was significantly
earlier, and the rates of abortion and histologic chorioamnionitis were
significantly higher in the ESBL-E-positive group than in the
ESBL-E-negative group. The overall rate of EONS (7.6% vs 2.5%,P = 0.040) and the rate of proven EONS were significantly higher
in the ESBL-E-positive group than in the ESBL-E-negative group (6.0% vs
1.1%, P = 0.002).
