    Group D streptococci, primarily enterococci, cause pediatric infections like newborn sepsis and urinary tract infections. Antibiotic treatment is effective, but malformations impact long-term prognosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
    • Neonatal Infections
    • Bacteriology

    Context:

    • Study conducted at the Pediatric Department of the School of Medicine at Barcelona.
    • Analyzed 20 cases of newborn sepsis and 9 urinary tract infections in children.
    • Identified Group D streptococci, specifically enterococci, as the causative agents.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate pediatric infections caused by Group D streptococci.
    • To determine antibiotic sensitivities of isolated enterococci strains.
    • To evaluate clinical presentation, treatment outcomes, and prognosis.

    Summary:

    • Neonatal sepsis occurred early in 50% of cases, with 35% low birth weight infants; 95% had favorable outcomes, except for one meningitis case.
    • Urinary tract infections were most common in infants over one month old (44%), presenting with mild symptoms and responding well to antibiotics.

  • Isolated enterococci showed highest sensitivity to ampicillin, followed by carbenicillin, chloramphenicol, furantoin, and gentamicin.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the effectiveness of antibiotics like ampicillin in treating enterococcal infections in children.
    • Underscores the significant long-term risk of renal and urinary malformations (55% of patients), impacting prognosis.
    • Provides crucial data for managing pediatric Group D streptococcal infections and associated congenital anomalies.
