Özet

Introduction: The incidence of preterm births seems to be increased in many countries around the world, in parallel to the advances in neonatal medicine. However, this has resulted in longer hospital stays and more exposure to invasive interventions, both of which can lead to an increase in late-onset nosocomial infections in the newborn period. In addition to bacteria, fungi are thought to be an important cause of hospital infections.
