    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Neonatal sepsis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in newborns.
    • Risk factors include prematurity, low birth weight, and post-term delivery.
    • Gram-negative bacteria are frequently implicated in neonatal infections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the etiopathogeny of neonatal sepsis.
    • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis.
    • To guide appropriate antibiotic treatment strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 30 recent neonatal sepsis cases.
    • Analysis of clinical experiences and literature.
    • Evaluation of bacterial flora and antibiotic susceptibility.

    Main Results:

    • Higher incidence observed in small-for-date, preterm, post-term, and some macrosomic newborns.
    • Predominance of gram-negative germs identified as causative agents.
    • Importance of early diagnosis and prompt, targeted treatment highlighted.

    Conclusions:

    • Neonatal sepsis requires vigilant monitoring and rapid intervention.
    • Antibiotic therapy should be adapted to local bacteriological patterns.
    • Effective management hinges on early detection and appropriate antimicrobial selection.
