Objective: This study aimed to determine the isolated organisms and, the most common causes of neonatal sepsis; and to evaluate
the susceptibility pattern of isolates to different antibiotics.
Methods: A total of 119 blood samples were collected and inoculated in brain heart infusion broth, then incubated up to 7days
at 37°C. All isolates were identified based on culture charters, Gram stain, and standard biochemical test. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were done according to CLSI guidelines 2011.
Results: Out of 119 blood samples investigated only 37.8% (45/119) were found to be positive for neonatal septicemia and all cases was early onset sepsis. The frequency of Gram-positive and Gram negative bac... view moreĀ»
