Bacteriological profile of neonatal Septicaemia in MIMS, Mandya, India

Bacteriological Profile of Neonatal Sepsis and Antibiogram of the Isolates

“…In our study, the rate of neonatal sepsis was 20.4%, which was similar to the fi nding by Samaga and Sumangala (21.9%) 11 . However, higher rates were reported by Muley et 15 and Gyawali and Sanjana (15.13 %) 16 .…”

Microbiological Profile of Neonatal Septicemia in a Rural Teaching Hospital of North India

“…A et al (10) (Klebsiella 62.7%, Ecoli 46.5%).The extensive use of broad spectrum β-lactam antibiotics has led to marked increase in the incidence of Amp C in Gram negative organisms particularly family Enterobacteriaceae. In current study, 1(50%) Klebsiella isolates in which both ESBL and Amp C are co-expressed in the same isolate and 1 (50 %) Escherichia coli isolates were AmpC -lactamase producers similar to Subitha.B et al (22) with Klebsiellasp ( 25%) and Ecoli (11%).All ESBL isolates were sensitive to imipenem (100%) followed by amikacin(77%), piperacillin/tazobactam (46%), meropenem (46), ampicillin (7.7%), chloramphenicol(23%), cefepime (26.92%), ciprofloxacin (23.08%), gentamicin (19.23%), tobramycin (11.54%), kanamycin (7.69%), tetracycline (7.6%) ( (14) (53.6%, 46.4%), Mustafa.M et al (13) (58%,42%), Premalatha. D.E et al (78.5%,21.5%) (24) On the contrary, Kayange .…”

A study on characterisation of antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic susceptibility pattern in late preterm and term neonates in a tertiary hospital, Imphal

“…However, in the developed countries, grampositive organisms have been implicated as the most common cause. 6 For effective management of neonatal septicemia, study of their antibiotic sensitivity plays significant role. The organisms responsible for neonatal sepsis vary across geographical boundaries and with the time of onset of illness.…”
