Aerobic Bacterial Isolates From Neonatal Septicaemia
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
224 clinically diagnosed neonatal septicaemia cases were studied between June 2013 and May 2014. Blood samples subjected to aerobic culture by standard techniques showed growth from 150 cases (66.69%). Predominant isolate was Staphylococcus aureus (41.33%), followed by Klebsiella pneumonia (34%) and Escherichia coli (12.66%). Enterococcus (5.33%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1.33%), Streptococcus pyogenes (2.33%), Micrococcus (0.66%), Proteus mirabilis (0.66%) and Listeria monocytogenes (0.66%). High degree of susceptibility to chloramphenicol, tetracycline, gentamycin and ciprofloxacin was seen. The study revealed that there is change in spectrum of infecting organisms in different places at different times. Hence antibiotic testing becomes mandatory in the treatment of neonatal septicaemia.
