Outcomes were compared between those with bacteremia vs. negative blood cultures. After delivery, chorioamniotic swab cultures were obtained. Bacterial distribution and rates of ampicillin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in blood and swab cultures were described. Women with Group B streptococcal colonization or prolonged rupture of membranes (ROM) received prophylactic ampicillin.

Women with bacteremia had higher rates of endometritis (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.016), Apgar-5\u2009&lt;\u20097 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.021) and umbilical cord pH\u2009&lt;\u20097.1 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.008). In multivariate analysis, prolonged ROM (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.028) and prophylactic ampicillin (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.036) were linked to maternal bacteremia. Maternal bacteremia (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) was associated with higher endometritis and NICU admission rates. Blood cultures and chorioamniotic swab cultures matched in 65.9% of cases. Ampicillin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae spp. were found in 70.2% of blood cultures and 90.6% of chorioamniotic swab cultures. The rate of Enterobacteriaceae-isolated maternal bacteremia was higher among preterm than term deliveries (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.034); while the rate of GBS-isolated bacteremia was lower (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Ampicillin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae rates in blood and chorioamniotic swab cultures were concerning.
