Neonates and immunocompromised children are most affected, with man-ifestations ranging from colonization to severe sepsis. Diagnostic systems frequently misidentify the organism, and molecular tools improve accuracy when combined with clinical assessment. Susceptibility patterns are variable and influenced by intrinsic re-sistance mechanisms and biofilm. Effective treatment often requires targeted therapy and device removal. Outbreak investigations consistently identify contaminated solu-tions and water systems as primary sources.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>R. pickettii is an emerging pathogen in pediatric care.
