Necrotizing enterocolitis in small-for-gestational-age neonates: a matched case-control study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Clinical illness caused by resistant bacteria usually represents a wider problem of asymptomatic colonization. Active surveillance with appropriate institution of isolation precautions represents a potential mechanism to control colonization and reduce infection. The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is an...
