Dr. Binita Aring, Dr. Hetal Modi

Abstract :

Neonatal sepsis is life threatening emergency and demand urgent attention. This study was carried out to determine the bacteriological profile and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of neonatal sepsis. Samples were collected from 100 newborns admitted in NICU, Blood samples from all neonates were cultured using ain heart infusion (BHI) oth and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns were studied. The most frequently isolated organism from neonatal sepsis were coagulase negative Staphylococci, followed by Staphylococcus aureus Klebsiella species Pseudomonas species, E. coli, Proteus species and Salmonella Typhi. Multi-drug resistance organisms were isolated from septicemia in neonates. Therefore great caution is required in selection of antibiotic therapy
