Abstract

All admitted neonates with clinical signs and symptoms of neonatal sepsis were included in this study. The following data were collected and evaluated such as the age gestation, birthweight, gender, mode of delivery, signs & symptoms, and the blood culture with antibiotic susceptibility. Data collected were transferred to Microsoft Excel and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27 used in this study. The study concluded that age of gestation, gender, birth weight, and mode of delivery was found to be not significant factors for neonatal sepsis in this study. Staphylococcal species were the most isolated etiologic agent since this is the predominant organisms in the skin. Vancomycin, Tetracycline, and Gentamicin had the highest susceptibility but resistant to Oxacillin, Penicillin G, Clindamycin, Amoxicillin and Ampicillin.
