Popis: In a cohort of 257 infants with congenital heart disease admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit, 22 infants had positive cultures for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase or AmpC Gram-negative bacteria. These infants had longer exposure to broad-spectrum antibiotics, greater support with invasive devices and longer intensive care and hospital lengths of stay.
