Neonatal sepsis is a clinical syndrome of bacteremia characterized by signs and
symptoms of systemic involvement during first month of life. It is a common cause
of morbidity and mortality in full term and preterm neonates. The microorganisms
and their sensitivity pattern vary from region to region and time to time. The
current study was conducted to know the pattern of Gram Negative bacterial
organisms at a tertiary level hospital and their response to commonly used
antibiotics. This descriptive study was conducted at Department of Microbiology, Sri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical and Health Sciences (SGRRIM&amp;HS), Dehradun (Uttrakhand) from January 2014 to January 2015. Blood Samples were
collected from neonates admitted in the Neonatal Intensive care unit (NICU) of Sri
Mahant Indresh Hospital (SMI), Patel Nagar Dehradun. Blood was taken from 550
neonates admitted to Special Care Baby Unit fulfilling criteria for neonatal sepsis.
The clinical and laboratory data was recorded. A total of 550 blood cultures were
taken and culture positivity was seen in 102 cases (18.54%). Klebsiella
pneumoniae was the most common organism found in 27(50%) cases, followed by
Escherichia coli in 14 (25.93%). Maximum (100%) resistance was seen in
Klebsiella pneumoniae for Amoxi-Clav (AMC), Cefotaxime (CTX), Ceftazidime
(CAZ), Amikacin (AN). 100% resistance for Amoxi-Clav (AMC) was also seen in
E.coli however for Ceftazidime the resistance was 92.85% Neonatal sepsis is a
leading cause of neonatal admissions, morbidity and mortality in developing
countries. Drug resistance is one of the emerging issues especially for routinely
used antibiotics as found in our study.
