Dr. Sneha Khante, Dr. Sharmila Raut

Abstract :

Neonatal septicemia is a significant cause of mortality worldwide. As etiological agents and their antibiotics susceptibility pattern differs from place to place, the present study was performed. Blood samples were collected from 566 clinically suspected cases of septicemia. The blood culture positivity rate was 36.22%. Gram negative organisms were found to be more common (70.24%) cause of sepsis than gram positives. Klebsiella pneumoniae was the predominant isolate showing maximum sensitivity to Imipenem and Amikacin. Among Enterobacteriaceae, ESBL production was seen in 61.62% of the isolates and AmpC production in 7.78%. Among non–fermenter group of organisms 33.33% isolates were MBL producers. In gram positive organisms the rate of MRSA was found to be 52.78%. Neonatal septicemia is life threatening emergency, so early diagnosis and treatment with appropriate antibiotics is necessary avoid the unnecessary use of antibiotics
