[Microbiological monitoring of suppurative-septic hospital infections in newborn infants and puerperae].

: The microbiological monitoring of obstetric institutions revealed essential changes in the microbiological structure of hospital purulent septic infections in newborns and parturient women during the period of 1987-1992. An increase in the role of gram-negative microflora, mainly the representatives of the family Enterobacteriaceae, was registered. The specific proportion of gram-negative microorganisms in the etiology of hospital infections increased from 43.7% to 95.1% in newborn infants and from 33.3% to 61.3% in parturient women, which differently affected on the structure of the main nosological forms of these diseases.
