ABSTRACT
Escherichia coli is an important pathogen causing neonatal infectious diseases, such as neonatal meningitis and sepsis, and poses a great threat to the health of neonates. Currently, no effective screening and prevention measures are available. This article briefly reviews the rates of Escherichia coli colonization in pregnant women and newborns, the risk factors of colonization and transmission from mother to infant and the influences of Escherichia coli on pregnancy outcome, especially the harm to newborns. In clinical practice, more attention should be paid to high-risk pregnant women and the possible adverse pregnancy outcomes. For newborns born to mothers with Escherichia coli colonization, the possibility of Escherichia coli infection should be considered first if early meningitis and septicemia occur, which would be of great significance for the selection of antibiotics.
