The pathogens isolated in patients with CLABSI are mainly Enterobacteriaceae and Candida spp. Five infections, out of the 9 cases caused by Enterobactriaceae identified are due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing organisms (3 Escherichia coli, 2 Klebsiella pneumoniae) and in one case by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Specifically, Candida albicans has been identified in 5 (71.4%) patients and Candida parapsilosis in other 2 (28.6%) children
