【 摘 要 】

Abstract The profile of antimicrobial resistance (ie, antibiogram) may be disparate between children and adults. An infant developed severe deep neck infection with a multidrug‐resistant microbe. The microbe was more drug‐resistant in children than in adults, in our hospital. Treatment of a child should be guided by the antibiogram obtained from children.
