Identification of the etiological agents of neonatal sepsis is essential for effective treatment. Out of 106 microbial isolates recovered blood cultures of neonatal sepsis patients, seventy (66.1 %) isolates of them were Gram positive bacteria, 31 (29.2 %) isolates were belonging to Gram negative bacteria and 5 (4.7%) isolates were belonging to Candida sp. Coagulase negative staphylococci (CONS) was the most common causative late onset neonatal septicemia (LOS), which reached to 43(40.6%) of total isolates, followed by Micrococcus, Enterobacter, coagulase positive staphylococci (COPS),Candida, Shigella, E. coli, Bacillus, Citrobacter and Klebsiella isolates, which reached to 13(12.2%), 11(10.4%), 10(9.4%), 7(6.6%), 5(4.7%), 5(4.7%), 4(3.7%),4(3.7%) and 4(3.7%), respectively. CONS isolates were highly resistant to various tested antibiotics compared to COPS. In addition, 50% of Staphylococcus isolates were resistant to aminoglycosides, IPM, glycopeptides and linezolid antibiotics, while 50% of enterobacterial isolates were resistant to glycopeptides, aminoglycosides, monobactam and tetracycline UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
