Overview

Retrospective cohort analysis identified Pseudomonas as the dominant pathogen in neonatal sepsis, highlighting antibiotic susceptibility patterns.

Key Points

  • Pseudomonas was the leading cause of neonatal sepsis, found in 46.25% of cases, emphasizing a need for targeted treatment.
  • The study analyzed 307 neonates with clinical signs of sepsis over a 12-month period, revealing significant predictors of sepsis.
  • Preterm birth, congenital anomalies, and antenatal antibiotics were identified as strong predictors of sepsis in this hospital cohort.
  • Improved understanding of local prevalence and resistance trends aims to enhance neonatal outcomes in a low-resource setting.
