Nosocomial infection in a newborn is defined as an infection arised after 48-72 hours of hospitalization. The extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates have an increased risk of developing infections (40%)[2], due to the immaturity of the immune system, the prolonged length of hospitalization and the frequent need for invasive procedures (central venous catheters - CVC, mechanical ventilation, parenteral nutrition, prolonged antibiotic therapies). In NICU, sepsis accounted for 45-55% of cases of nosocomial infections, followed by the lower respiratory tract infections (16-33%), skin and soft tissue infections (26.3%), urinary tract infections (8-19%) and meningitis (9.6%) [2]. The gram-positive bacteria are responsible for 65% of infection...
