Trend Analysis of Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Pathogens Causing Neonatal Sepsis at University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: A Retrospective Study

CONCLUSION: Neonatal sepsis infection is common in the 3-28 days of age range. S. aureus, E. coli, and K. pneumonia were the most common isolates. Most the bacterial pathogens were resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics. Therefore, an antimicrobial sensitivity test for bacterial isolates is recommended to provide updated data for the physician in choosing the appropriate antibiotic for better patient treatment outcome.PMID:34630569 | PMC:PMC8494529 | DOI:10.1155/2021/9992994
