Abstract
Objectives
Maternal colonization by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) has risen, and the antimicrobial resistance of ESBL-E is significant. We aimed to evaluate the rates of ESBL-E colonization among women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and of maternal-neonatal vertical transmission. We also aimed to compare obstetrical and neonatal complications among ESBL-E positive versus negative maternal colonization in pregnancies complicated by PPROM.
Methods
This retrospective study included women with PPROM who were admitted from 2018 to 2022 for expectant management and were screened for ESBL-E recto-vaginal colonization on their admission. Obstetrical and neonatal outcomes were compared between positive and negative ESBL-E pregnancies. Neonatal outcomes were compared between positive and negative ESBL-E neonates.
Results
Of 118 women with PPROM, 27 (23%) had positive ESBL-E cultures. ESBL-E isolates (cultures from the placenta, cord, amnion, or uterus) were more common in colonized versus non-colonized ESBL-E mothers (55.6% vs. 11.0%, P < 0.001). ESBL-E isolates were more common in neonates of mothers with positive versus negative ESBL-E cultures (33.3% vs. 4.2%, P = 0.017). A higher proportion of neonates of ESBL-E positive than ESBL-E negative mothers needed antibiotic treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit. Neonatal ESBL-E colonization at birth was a predictor of longer stays in the neonatal intensive care unit (P = 0.006).
Conclusions
In women with PPROM, maternal–ESBL-E colonization was a significant risk factor for neonatal colonization and was associated with neonatal morbidity. The high maternal colonization rate in PPROM raises the need for routine maternal ESBL screening. Future studies should establish the ideal empiric antibiotic regimen in the neonatal intensive care unit for neonates born to ESBL-E colonized mothers.
