Abstract :

In India alone, of the 25 million babies who are born every year, one million die, accounting for 25%of the mortality around the world. Neonatal sepsis is responsible for about 30–50% of the total neonatal deaths in developing countries. It is estimated that up to 20% of neonates develop sepsis and approximately 1% die of sepsis related causes. Present study is conducted to determine the Bacteriological Profile & Susceptibility pattern of pathogens causing Neonatal sepsis
