ABSTRACT

A study was carried out to analyze bloodstream infections (STIs) at the Children’s Hospital of the State of Sonora between October 2023 and January 2024. 58% of the blood cultures with bacterial growth during the study period corresponded to Staphylococcus spp., The affected patients had an average age of 2.6 years, with 80.5% of cases in children under 5 years of age. 72% occurred in males and all cases required invasive medical devices and broad-spectrum antibiotics. 88.8% of the isolates corresponded to coagulase-negative staphylococci (ECN) and there was resistance to oxacillin in 78% of the Staphylococcus spp strains. Resistance to other antibiotics was also observed, but all strains were susceptible to vancomycin, linezolid, and daptomycin. The study provides valuable information for the management and prevention of STIs in the hospital.
