Overview

Observational analysis revealed carbapenem-resistant pathogens in neonatal sepsis, indicating urgent need for new treatment strategies.

Key Points

  • Acinetobacter spp emerged as a predominant pathogen, accounting for 22% of neonatal sepsis cases in southern Pakistan.
  • From 2018 to 2022, 23061 out of 45236 neonatal blood cultures were positive, highlighting significant bacteremia risk.
  • Analysis of archived blood culture data from an accredited laboratory revealed high rates of drug resistance among Acinetobacter spp.
  • The findings underscore the necessity for improved infection control and new antibiotic therapies in neonatal healthcare settings.
