  • Values are presented as median (IQR).

  • *OR and 95% CI are calculated per 100 g of increase in BW, per 1 week of increase in GA, per mL increase for % of MOBM in TEF and per 1 mL/day increased in TEF.

  • BW, birth weight; ESBL, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases; GA, gestational age; HAS, hospital-acquired strain; MOBM, mother’s own breast milk; TEF, total enteral feeds.
