Abstract

A prospective observational study was conducted in a neonatal unit of referral teaching hospital of North India with an aim to study the bacteriological profile and sensitivity pattern of referred neonates. During this period of one year, incidence of culture positive sepsis was 34 % among which gram-negative bacilli predominated in both early onset and late onset sepsis. In early onset neonatal sepsis, predominant organism was Klebsiella pneumoniae followed by Staph aureus and Acinetobacter. In late onset sepsis, most common organism was again Klebsiella pneumoniae followed by Acinetobacter, Candida, Staph and E. coli. Sensitivity pattern of isolated organism and outcome of referred newborns are presented.
