Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals Klebsiella as a leading cause of neonatal septicemia, suggesting effective empirical therapies.

Key Points

  • Klebsiella and Acinetobacter were identified as the main organisms causing neonatal septicemia.
  • High resistance rates of 73.9% to cefepime were observed, indicating urgent need for effective therapy options.
  • The study found vancomycin and linezolid with susceptibility rates of over 88%, highlighting potential treatment strategies.
  • Data analysis utilized SPSS version 24 to process results from the cohort of 176 neonates with septicemia.
