Bacteriological profiles and antibiotic susceptibility of neonatal sepsis in a university hospital of Northern India.

An increasing trend of CONS isolation was observed in an epidemiological study performed to observe the long-term trends in the agents causing neonatal sepsis.[ 27 ] The majority of the Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates of the present study were resistant to all the tested antibiotics, which is similar to a study where 5

Group B Streptococcus was considered as an important agent associated with early- onset sepsis, but the recent studies are showing a decreasing trend in the incidence of this pathogen.[ 27 ] Late-onset neonatal sepsis is usually acquired from the care giving environment, and CONS, Escherichia coli , and Klebsiella species are the common agents involved.[ 19 ] The common etiological agents of late-onset sepsis in the present study were Klebsiella pneumoniae and CONS.
